This is the problem....when that file is posted PUBLICLY, it's no longer "sharing with friends". It's like getting a reel of a movie that is currently in theaters and showing it publicly in a theater and not paying a licensing fee or booking fee.
If shoot a porn scene and want that available for my paying members, why should anyone else have a "right" to watch that scene? As the creator of that scene, shouldn't I be able to dictate how that scene is shown and in which format? Should anyone with an internet connections have a RIGHT to view a scene I created? I don't want to be in the business of creating charity porn. "Aww, those poor starving college students can't afford a membership to view my porn scene? Maybe I'll be charitable and let them watch it for free because they are poor." Hey, could I get a tax write off for providing free porn to starving college students? In that case, I might actually give a shit about someone who can't afford my product.
I can't afford a Ferrari, but that doesn't mean they should cut me a break and lower the cost just because of that. If they did that, they would de-value their product and it would be worth less money...what about those guys who paid regular price? Shouldn't they be allowed to retain value in their purchases? Why should they have to pay more just because they can when someone who can't afford it, pays less, simply because they can't?
