I don't suspect that the Mansef guys are ever gonna really sell their company. Hell, just naming it "Manwin" had to give them a pretty good laugh.

And there's nothing wrong with that. It's their company, and I'm sure they are making moves based on legal and accounting advice. It really doesn't matter to me one way or another.

I just found it kinda funny to watch this Nathan person suddenly come into this as a multi-millionaire with plenty of money to buy into a big company...but unable to straight talk to some of the folks here who had their very livelihoods smashed with pornhub, while the Mansef/Manwin crew got richer off of the stolen content.

If you were in the paysite actual porn side of the biz you might not be quite as amused.

I'm of the thought that it would be real nice if they stopped allowing stolen content. That would be great. It would also be great if they stopped putting up full scenes.

But we both know that the minute they did that...their traffic would dry up immediately. So it's hard to discern what this Nathan guy is saying or doing. I'm not sure why he even came on GFY if he has nothing to really say.
My comments actually had nothing to do with tubes at all, just the misinformation circling in this thread by people who think they have all the behind the scenes information regarding ownership etc...

As far as tubes go, though, you're right they don't affect me at all as the only adult project I'm involved with relies on social interaction and not content. I agree content theft is wrong and should be illegal, that they are exploiting a loophole right now in the legal system...

Then again, as you have said millions of times, you took steps to protect your content and haven't suffered like others have. Other smart owners worked on providing members with more than just photos and videos; interactivity and an addictive member experience, and haven't suffered. Finally, there are many others, who instead of protecting their content better, or enhancing their offering, preferred to spend 99% of their day whining on a forum - I'm not sure how bad I'm supposed to feel for them.
