If you own a store and all your merchandise shows up at the flea market down the street you get some better locks, and probably product tags that beep when people go out without paying.

With the adult industry you giftwrap and bag up all your product and hand it to the thiefs. Ya you are right Im a stupid noob.

The best way to stop content theft is like you said go after 3rd party advertisers. *yawn* Any smart business person coming in from a mainstream perspective would be amazed at the business model that everyone is afraid to change as to piss of the "consumer".

Im going down the the local video rental store and paying 3.99 for as many movies as the store has and Im going to truck load them on back to my house and keep them forever.

Sounds like a brilliant plan...

I hear Netflix and Vongo etc are doing fine... Wonder why the silly members of those sites dont get pissed off they cant keep the movies forever and distribute them freely out onto the internet? Hmm Because their expectations were never guided in that direction.
Bah fuck it I have better things to do...

Btw I havent been in diapers since about 1976 or so.
I come from a brick and mortar retail background where strict inventory control/theft prevention is ALWAYS a priority. This industry does seem more focused on hoping the thieves share their ill gotten gains than stopping theft in the first place.

Pretty fucked up.
