for who? Yeah, the photographers, but with the kind ofbullying Perfect10 does it's going to lead to a backlash. Most webmasters have no problem with going after content thieves and copyright enforcement, but bullying AVS and hosts into giving up personal info on webmasters? I, for one, hopes Perfect 1o dies a quick painful internet death...copyright enforcement is one thing, but being a bully is quite another.

If you think anyone can go to a newstand pickup a magazine and scan his content from it and say this is "ANYMAGAZINE.COM" Then put up a site and this benefits the net you are very wrong.

I don't think she was saying this at all. She was talking about if Perfect 10 would open an affiliate program and allow webmasters to use some promotional content, it might be in the best interest of Perfect10 and might even lead to them making a few dollars on the 'net, without that, surfers don't give fuck 1 about Perfect10...

Because if you send the magazines out of business a large proportion of the quality images will go, because you just cannot shoot quality for $30 a set. Then when streaming comes properly available buy a video and just stick it up and who cares.

There will always be a market for quality content, just as there will always be a market for "amatuer" $30 per set content (ESPECIALLY on the internet).

Bottom line is PERFECT 10 paid for that content and that makes it theirs to do with as THEY choose and not as the TGP and AVS site owners decide.

I don't think anyone is arguing that, I think it's more about bullying tactics of going after AVS companies and hosting companies rather than the thieves whole stole the content.

All we want you to do is pay for it, if you do not make enough money to pay for it, that's your problem and does not allow you to decide what is best for some one else.

Again, no argument here, it's the tactics used. As for the "you can't afford it, nah nah" shit you love to espouse...well, if you can't afford to continue to shoot "quality" content due to magazines drying up and webmasters buying up all that $30 per set content, well, then that is your problem....
