Torrents, illegal tubes, content theft is only fair use in the mind of a fucking thief.
What you want is a dream world of absolute copyrights, which isn't possible.

I understand we have 'thief's' that enter our sites, rip our member areas, and post them on forums or whatever. While that is stealing in my book too, legally we can't do shit about it. Technically, it's not illegal.

The moment we publish porn online, unprotected with no lic agreement to members - legally, they can download it, burn it to a DVD and give it to a friend - legally.

No different than downloading it, and uploading it to a tube, torrent, etc. It's legal for them to do this, it's legal for you to do it as well.

The issue with Copyright is people 'think' it's absolute.. when it was never designed to be that way.
