It seems the cases are not as open and shut as everyone make it sound like, especially when you come across someone who has the means to defend themselves...

The key is keeping the settlement low enough that it is just under the price it would cost to lawyer up. And even if they do that and go to court they are going to lose. It's so easy to get your legal ducks in a row. And that's what we did. 2 very big producers (Hustler and a big gay company) led the way and we followed suit.
It's recovering money. Plain and simple. All the theorizing in the world doesn't mean anything. Smart people do the things that work. This works. And it is most definitely going to put a dent in the millions of people who join sites just to rip them and re-upload them.
And the funny part is...they are basically turning themselves in. Sites like pornbb are now a cash cow full of people incriminating themselves.
As they like you to do when a thief posts up a stolen scene for everyone else on those surfer forums....I'd just like to say "thanks" for identifying yourselves. It's like picking low hanging fruit.
