I worry about that - treating my members as theives - but since I know SOME of them ARE theives (cause it's the unwatermarked vids I see out there; the watermarked ones I view as advertising) so it kinda has to be done. There are locks on doors for the 15% (my estimate) of actual theives out there who would try to break in, not the 85% of 'good citizens' who would never think of even testing to see if the door was unlocked in the first place. Just sayin'.  |
I don't treat our members as potential thieves. They aren't. They are CM's fans.
But the whole surfer forum mentality of sites like pornbb tricks them into being pawns. They are shown an illusion of a forum where buddies are encouraged to share their collection of porn vids amongst each other.
Of course they don't know that the truth is that the owner of that site is using them to generate traffic for his pre-paid ad spots.
And I do my part to educate my members. I talk to them all the time as I personally do the support for CM's site. And when they have asked me about such things I explain to them the entire business model of a site like pornbb and of course the file sharing sites, torrents, and illegit tubes.
And they are always shocked. And our members send me links to CM's stuff whenever they see it out there on those kinds of sites. Our members do NOT feel like thieves. They feel like they are part of a community.
