...and what I'm saying is:
- Even if your content is protected, you're not changing the level of faith amongst your members. The members you'd assume to be the most 'faithful', ie, the ones with accounts of 6+ months, are the ones that are stealing, torrenting, tubing, rapidsharing the content.
- I wrote software that tracked stolen and redistributed videos back to the member, IP, time and date. Cross referencing that information with that of literally thousands spidered videos on torrent sites, rapidshare, forums and usenet with the member database, and finding the above stated correlation, I'd say that I've got fairly hard data.
You don't have to believe me, and I did come off more beligerant in my original post than intended - I'm simply trying to offer some insight into what seems to be a logical, but incorrect assumption.
