One thing all the tubes and stolen content proves
 

That the mob is not involved with porn anymore. Back in the day (70s/early 80s), anyone pirating content would have met up with some nasty fellows who would have convinced the dudes stealing the content that doing what they did was a really bad idea. After a death or two and some badly beaten-up guys, pirating would have been a thing of the past. But these days, everyone does it without a second thought. Just proves no more DiBi or any of those bent-nose types are still in the porn biz.

Stealing content is an interesting thing - is it really stealing? Let's say I copy a phrase of what you just said. Is this really stealing?

The "mob" isn't what it was 30+ years ago. I'm sure that has a lot to do with it.

Well, stealing text is a whole different thing.

aahh.. shut the fuck up fatfoo

It proves that the mob are the one's running the tube sites.

Doesn't mean someone won't show up at your door and break a few fingers.

Good point, oldboy. But come on, we know who most of the big tube players are and they aren't OG. Just bastards who have no problem stealing.

BTW, I just downloaded the first two episodes of "The Tudors" season 4 off RS - great show and the last season is going to be great. Am I a thief even though I know that Shotime is the one who released these episodes to the torrents?

How would "the mob" stop pirating when it happens in remote countries they probably couldn't even point to on a map? And even if they were to whack a content thief or two, that would in no way mean others would stop doing it.

Yeah that idea crossed my mind too. I heard in Japan the Yakuza is involved in hentai studios but that might be a tall story.
