I agree

This whole notion of 'fake' or 'real' hacked password site is bogus and moot.

Even if the password site is dispensing 'fake stolen passwords', they are doing so in an environment of PROMOTING password theft/sharing, hacking, copyright violation, credit card fraud, virus attacks and other criminal acts.

Giving away 'fake stolen passwords' under the roof of an illegal site is not a step in the right direction - especially for a larger enterprise.

Look at other (matured) industries and how they deal with serious issues.

For example, regardless of how many bootlegged and pirated copies of (mainstream) movie DVDs and videos there are out there, the big players are not using that as an excuse to support the bootleggers - instead they launch costly awareness and promotional campaigns aimed at the industry and consumers to deal with the problem. Further, they lobby for laws to help (not hinder) their industry.

Why is there such a difference in approach?

Is adult industry really the sleazy free-for-all you all seem to be suggesting?

I sure hope not.
