Start an alliance of like minded peers who are interested in seeing sales levels of just a few years ago.

You have the influence to make such an alliance useful and beneficial, and clearly this industry needs something positive to happen.

Perhaps offering an alternative in lieu of dealing with sites like pornbb would go a long way to mend bridges you seem to be intent on mending. If that's worth time and money to you, then spend it in a way that shows the rest of us that you're part of the solution going forward.

This happens all the time on the world stage, and governments band together to villify, starve and hopefully eliminate their enemies. The other governments will agree to join in the parade, as long as their own needs are met in the deal.

I see pornbb is sending traffic to programs like Bang Bros, Haze Cash, Program 3, etc. You could swing a deal with these companies to increase their visibility on your network of sites, in return for a harder line approach to advertising on piracy sites such as PornBB. Furthermore it's no loss to you, as those are good programs anyways that you'll make sales with.

Just provide an attractive alternative for these networks to side with instead of the "bad guys" that are clearly spoiling things for the lot of us.

If a network such as yours teamed up with the likes of RK, AFF, BangBros etc and actually took a stand together against these sites, things would clearly look brighter the day after. Plus you guys are so big that any positive change for the industry as a whole should benefit you the most, as you have a large percentage of that pie already for yourself.

Carlos Slim who was at one point the wealthiest man in the world over the past year or two has said that being wealthy is a responsibility. A person like him must put his money to work, or the world suffers. He said that his businesses are like owning an apple orchard, in that he must try to sell all his apples every year, and never sell a tree. He also doesn't like to give money away, as he'd rather put it to use and make more with it, which he believes helps more than simply giving.

Right now trees are free, apples are everywhere, and soon enough people won't even want an apple!
