is it a case where prefect 10 tried to get visa to stop processing for these sites and visa refused
or
is it a case that Prefect 10 is just going after the big boy instead of trying to solve their own problems.
which will possibly harm this industry.

So how do you suggest he stops people stealing his content and using it illegally? Sue some 18 year old working from his bedroom or going after the people profitting from the theft?

I just think he could make more money with his content by concentrating on his internet product line

Well he's not doing to badly by suing people. Run a website to make profit or sue thieves, I wonder which one is the most profitable. I hear he employs two lawyers to sue people.
And he did not bring this on the industry, the industry brought it on itself. He sued AC and got a settlement, which means he won, and still the industry ignored the thieves.
There are many many programs that do NOTHING to find and close down the pirates. They will do anything to get their traffic, even when you find the stolen content on the site of a habitual thief some sponsors do nothing.
There excuse is thay have too many affiliates to police them, so they do nothing.
Well now it may cost them $1,000 for every stolen image that is being used to drive traffic to them. My fault they have thieves as webmasters or theirs?
