Here's my experience with content stealing pieces of shit:

I find that one of my major competitors on an AVS I work is using all stolen content (pretty obvious, it's all scanned from comics and such, hentai) - so I report him to the AVS. All the sites even had that lame "This content is public domain no ownership implied, blah blah" disclaimer. They got taken down by the AVS. 24 hours later they are back - only change, he removed the disclaimer.

So, I'm a little pissed at the AVS and at this thief, so I call the bugger out in email. After refusing to show licenses, and claiming that he had a "private deal", he eventually somehow seemed to think that I was his buddy, and relented a bit, telling me that he got most of his content from a site called h-cds or something ands it was all completely legal. (can't remember the url anymore) A full CD worth of hentai? Only 20$! Wow, them's cheap content prices! Where do they get it? They say right on the website that they harvest it from newsgroups and paysites. Fucking thieves.

Anyway, he's still on the lists, on a lot of major AVSes. I hate fucking competing with thieves.

Cheers,
Backov
