I know. But the majority of those guys either don't know HOW to do anything about it, or are too set in their ways and thought they would somehow make their existing members angry.
They are scared basically. And you can't blame them. They are busting ass, taking all the risks and all the costs...and then watching it go down the drain. Meanwhile the review sites tell them that if they tried to protect their content then they will get bad reviews and lose even further potential sales.
So yeah, I do feel bad for them. They didn't do anything wrong, and yet because others worked unscrupulously they are supposed to somehow change gears and now it's their fault for not being smart enough to "adapt"
Hell man, I should NEVER have had to put in all the time and effort I have to keeping my shit from being everywhere. I'm a busy guy and my work time would be better spent dreaming up new creative ideas and working on the actual website instead of testing my shit against every download software known to man.
So in a way, it has taken money from me. Time is money. I wonder how many scenes I didn't shoot, or how many really cool set ups for a vid I didn't think of because my mind was on fighting piracy?
So yeah, I do feel for guys who came at this and gave it their all and just don't have the ability to stop their stuff from getting stolen. I don't know what's gonna become of all of them, pretty sure they are hurting real bad.
I do agree about the GFY "detectives". But there is one guy in this thread who icq'ed me some info that was downright amazing. He IS in the know. Far more than you or I for sure.
