Also, you are talking about money here. Standing up and being against something all by yourself can be very costly, especially when there are people standing in line to take your place or more importantly to take your customers.
At the PHX party last night I had this exact discussion with someone who is a hosting professional. If he dumps clients accused of hosting illegal content because people call him out on it (when in reality, a host has an extremely difficult time policing content on their servers), there is another host perfectly willing to pick up that client, no questions asked. In this instance, you are out money (probably significant funds) but you feel all warm and fuzzy because you stood up???
It doesn't work unless it's en masse. It would require everyone all at the same time, but it would absolutely require every one of the heavy hitters without a doubt. Miss one of those and it's like a leak in the dam.

There's always gonna be someone who's a leak, nothing's ever 100% espicially where finance is concerned.
The point would be in making everyone aware, that yes, it will hurt at first, but it will even out over time.
Once things get out of hand, it's very hard to revert back and have them they way they where before.
ie. my example with clubs.
One the forgien strippers came in, the industry got fucked LITERALLY & when we tried, years later to clean it up- it was too late, the damage was done.
Clubs that went clean, went under...
and those who stayed filthy whore houses, got shut down...
Where I live, just outside of Toronto, we had 7 strip clubs spread across about 20 miles, (4 towns) that was 5 years agao- you know how many we have in that same area now???
2
2 clubs still remain after the aftermath of the breach of the industry, and that's my area alone.
i know a lot of club owners around Toronto Area, and they are all on hard times now dealing with this shit!
Clubs that where booming 10 years ago, now are struggling to stay alive!
Why?
Because they took long in acting on the issue. The damage was done and there's no going back to the way things used to be.
That's why I took myself outta the clubs and starting looking and the web game- but it's all happening here too....
Lemme just break it down a bit, in the words of the great & wise Tony Montanna:
"Firts you get the money, than you get the power, than you get the women!"
Get the money- cut off there finacial resources, no business with those stealing out shit!
Get t he power- without our ads and money going them to them, they loose power, ergo, we gain the power BACK!
Get the women- ok, well women we have lots of working in the industry, but the point is if we don't keep the women making money on their sites, we'll loose them and their content, so we would KEEP THE WOMEN I guess?
Hell I dunno?
Look at the last one anyway you choose, it's the money and the power that's the important part of it
and Kellie thnx for saying my points and opinions matter, I relaize I'm just a little fish here, but I do make some money buy selling my shit, and I'm not about to take food outta my kids mouth becuase some stupid tube site wants to give everything away free!!!
I'm working on a new aspect of free content in my newest projecdt, something that gives guys free shit and gives the girls free promo...
but that topics for another time- we need to act on this issue NOW!
