Now I know this is pre-you being there, but that's the company you guys took over, this is why I think people have a negative attitude about you commenting on piracy, the company's reputation precedes you, obviously you guys are working to change that as well as their former billing practices and that's highly commendable.
Now I don't understand why you are so against what Steve is doing. I'm nobody's fanboy, but as long as what he's doing is legal, and he is busting people stealing his content, what's it to you?

Gleem, I have actually never heard of the stuff you mentioned in the first paragraph. Do you happen to have more info on this? I would love to know since that obviously seems insane...
I know though why Brazzers is being looked at negatively, and I can somewhat understand it. Does not change the fact that, as you said, their actions people claim to know, whether they are true or false, are pre-me. And I have said time and time again, we are making sure our tubes work WITH the industry and not AGAINST. And for the people that claim we are not, just look at for example the amount of sponsored content on the tubes today vs. just 3 months ago. HUGE difference.
Regarding Steve, if what he has said again in this thread just a few minutes ago is correct, then I have no problem at all. I just have a problem with suing torrent downloaders since I think its a tricky business, its dangerous for the industry's image, and it will do more harm than good.
Suing uploaders or the people that actually took the content from steve and started the seed, I have absolutely no problem with and I am completely in agreement with steve (whether he likes hat or not <G>)
