you are doing it again
all of your exclusive rights are restricted by fair use (not withstanding clause) so the government has not givne you the ONLY RIGHT to make money in adult with her. Other people have a right to make money with her, in the fair use distribution, back up providers, format shifting providers, time shifting providers all have a right to make money with her. you have a right to compete in that marketplace, piracy only exists if you refuse to fulfill those rights for everyone (for free) who has them.

We'll just see if trademark and copyright mean anything. Or if you're right and everybody can just steal anything they want.

it not an all or nothing, your copyright is conditional, wrapped in fair use, likewise fair use is conditional (must meet specific conditions to apply). you still have an exclusive right to distribute for non fair use (ie first sale) distribution. you just have to compete in a fair market for fair use distribution (ie second sale). that the way the law was written when it started.

You better hope I'm right or there won't be an adult business left for you to be a parasite on anymore. And as far as waving my magic wand...yes, that's exactly the way it used to work. Everybody knew everybody. Now you and a million other surfers all think you're in the porn business.

barrier to entry is dropping. competition is increasing, pricing is comming down, distribution channels are flattening it a bad time for being a distributor.
However it is a great time to be a content producers, IF YOU ARE SMART.
a paysites like yours is both content producer and distributor, increase the content producer side, and decrease the distribution side and you will make way more money
don't and you will get eaten alive.
