In other words genius...once I stopped my shit being everywhere for free...sales rose. Every paysite that I promote that does have their shit everywhere for free, sales have dropped like a stone.

I don't know how else to explain this to you gideon. It should be obvious. But since it's not to you, I am telling you real world statistics before my very eyes in stats remote. But even then you refuse to see it.

Just like you said earlier:


That was the most ironic and honest thing you've ever said here on GFY.
your locking down the content denying people their fair use right of backup. You may think that the best solution but there are two things
1. your customer over time are getting pissed off with your
2. the courts are clarifying more and more that right is justified

that is going to come to a head it two possible ways
some of the porn guys will finally wake up and learn how to do branding bugs and watermarks right, generate the same results while fully respecting fair use rights and eat you alive.

2. one of your customer will finally get so pissed off at you that they will not only rip your stuff but fight you thru the courts. If the lenz vs universal case comes down the way it looks like it will that will be a very expensive battle. (rememeber that $900/seed now imageing 900/former customer).

i suspect it will be number 2 because to many people are clueless listening to you rather than simply testing out the differences between doing watermarks wrong (today) and doing them right (like tv) and seeing it themselves.
