I hear you.
But if you think about it...why is this happening?
Go to PornBB Dot Org and you'll see why my blood is boiling.
This is something that people have brought down on themselves. Everybody thought it was just great to destroy OUR lives and our finances. But now that it's turning around...suddenly it's all so unfair.
The only reason that an unscrupulous person would have an inroad to profit off of this is because THIEVES made the entire situation a reality in the first place.
Not me. Not Paul Markham. Not anybody who actually produces pornography.
We have been robbed blind. We certainly didn't want that.
But I'm not gonna just stand by and not do anything. I've already tried going after the site owners. They hide behind the "safe harbor" and pretend they don't know that content is stolen while they make money off or all of our work. We couldn't get them.
But going after the very people that make up the traffic sources of those pirate sites? Well...what happens if people are too scared to go to a torrent and download porn? Or too scared to go to PornBB and put up links to entire paysite rips that they've uploaded no rapidshare?
I'll tell you what happens. Those sites lose their traffic and their profitability. And then they die.
This is going to be a lot more effective than you might think at first glance. And the negative publicity of the whole thing is also going to open the eyes of the courts. And just may push through legislation and treaties amongst countries to finally stop copyright infringement and put an end to the whole mess.
If rapidshare or megaupload were told that they were going to be blocked in the U.S. if they provide these full scenes of pornography to the "innocent children" of the U.S. for instance...you bet your ass they would clean that shit up instantly.
This is the kind of thing that could bring that to pass. Enough publicity and this out of control shit will change. It would never change to HELP us of course. But to stop the outrage of the religious right when they discover that thousands and thousands of full scene porn sites are being offered for free with no restrictions to kids?
Things are gonna change.
