I am not supportive of content stealing, however, isnt this the same shit tgps have said forever?
"we are not responsible for the content on the pages we link to?"
Just curious, if this guy really just linking an mpg somewhere, sure its hotlinking, but that doesnt mean content stealing... (up for dialog but not name calling and ignorant chatter)

If I link to your content in such a way that you don't get proper branding, and/or if I use your bandwidth/hosting to convey that content in such a way that you don't get any benefit from it and my traffic/audience gets all the reward for which they are willing to pay me and not you for the privilege of accessing more content then what would you call that? Maybe not "theft" per se, but does "fraud" work for you?
Bottom line for me though is that in this case Brazzers as owners of the content are asking him not to do what he is doing and he should respect that. It is their content and they can protect and distribute it as they see fit. To tell them in so many words "F-off" makes it seem all the more abusive and a wonton disregard for some elses intellectual property.
