We didn't steal their copyrighted work to open our websites. Well, most of us didn't.  |
You must be a very new comer to the Internet then. LOL
Seriously most of the sites back in the beginning were stealing content from magazines or where ever else they could get it. When you emailed them and asked them to take it down or even pay for it they often ignored you. The popular reply was "It's from Newsgroups, so public domain." I tried for three months to sell to everyone I found stealing content. Gave up and let APIC send DMCAs to their hosts.
This illustrates the mentality of the morons today, can you imagine what it was like 15 years ago?

Tube sites have piracy on them just as there is crime in any other social groups - this does not make them illegal! and you can not stop it from happening.
Now the other point is that if this "PIRACY" happens in that great of proportions - then we should question again whether its considered to be a crime ?

However I was not talking about the theft issue, which is wrong, I'm talking about those who keep going on and on about the decline of the Internet porn business. When they really mean the decline of their income from the business.
