Manwin Official Statement re acquisition of Brazzers

why is that guy wearing a fern on his head?

cant the army afford real helmets anymore?





.

reminds me of a gay ex-colleague who told me how all the other guys just grabbed some fern or grass to put on their helmets and he showed up with a nicely arranged flower bed.

atk does all that... I personally own very little content and NONE of it is hosted..

If making money matters to you more than the fact that stolen full length clips are responsible for driving the traffic that is makling you that money, then you'll do whatever you have to in order to justify it to yourself in your own mind.

It may not be technically illegal, but it's ethically deplorable. It's dirty money. Spin it however you want, but it still boils down to making money from the use of stolen content.

Sleep well.

Is this thread turned into epic backfire?

How would that matter? If someone copyrighted their content, does that mean the tube sites wont steal it then?

On North American producers my guess would be less then 5 that post on GFY.

Under US & Canadian law all European producers are automatically considered to be under the Copyright law/Protected.

No but if they have a copyright they actually stand to make some serious cash if suing, much like Pink Visual is doing.

To copyright your content costs almost nothing, most people are just too lazy to even look into it.

Nope 25 of the latest 30 videos on PH are sponsored vids looks like PH is cleaning up

No that would be this thread... http://www.gfy.com/showthread.php?t=978028

we should recommend this thread as an introduction to the adult industry

Never thought I should hear the 'likewhoa' word again without going off like a bomb.

Yes that is my personal opinion. You (and all of the other companies) working with them are more concerned about making sales, no matter who you do business with and how that business conducts itself today and did so in the past. As long as you can make a buck from it. Hey I have no problem with that. Some people are only concerned about making a buck no matter what the cost or the thieves they partner with. If that is you then more power to you, just be up front and honest about it. Don't try to pretend you have good business ethics and are doing business on the up and up when you are working with tube sites that are or were stealing everyone else's content and profiting off of it.

lol, you are the one spinning everything and just for the convenience of trying to insult us. I don't consider that to be unethical, unless of course your goal is to discredit us through unsubstantiated and false assertions, but I do think you are being a dick.

However, you are right about one thing... it is not, under current US laws "illegal", and while you may deplore the fact that people post the content and consider it unethical, under the circumstances I only find it to be unethical if the tube site doesn't take down anything that we notice them about when necessary. What makes our views about the "ethics" of the situation different in so far as you can claim to be "right" while I am somehow "wrong"? Clearly, if it is not illegal, then how is it unethical if we take advantage of the traffic our clips generate? Because you don't like them? You don't like the big bad tubes? Cry me a river. Maybe when you get off your pedestal of reactionary arrogant accusatory insulting posturing and lose the holier than thou aura you will see the situation more clearly.

My position is based on facts. I don't know for a fact who puts up our clips without authorization. I consider it unethical to blame someone, based so far on circumstantial and not factual evidence, which also happens to be the standard for the US legal system. For us it is a fact that if our clips went up without persmission then they were taken down promptly with notice. That might make the situation a pain in the ass but it is not necessarily unethical. If we figured out how to turn that negative into a positive then that doesn't make us unethical either; business-wise, that simply makes us pragmatic.

I suggest you crack open the books again to learn what "ethics" really are. If it makes you feel better then you can tell me a great big "i told you so" if Pink Visuals prevails. I already said before though that my hunch is that will only result in a settlement that will be in Pink Visuals interests and not yours, mine, or anyone elses. Is that unethical? No, that is what we call business as usual.
