Bitching in this forum and others is the best way to find 20 people to make them change with me. Maybe even to get those companies to be more sensitive to the issue, and perhaps change their business models - or at least make enough people aware that some people stop doing business with them.
AFF's middle finger extended approach to deal with this issue makes them look terrible, and hopefully any number of webmasters will stop dealing with them.
AVN's totally weak ass "it isn't our business" excuse about adbrite is fucking laughable (Their AVNads program is DNSed to adbrite.com) should be another reason why people consider NOT going to AVN shows and not supporting a company that is suppose to be an industry leader and instead appears to be approaching bottom feeder status.
On the other side, Juicy's management of the issues that face fleshlight and torrent sites shows that smart companies and smart operators know when to say "oops" and take action to make it right.
Bitching is one of the many tools available. If I was producing content that was getting run by the torrent sites, I can assure you that writing DMCAs to everyone and their dog would be on my list of jobs to do. I wish more copyright holders would jealously protect their copyright works.
