I have been reading this thread for a while, as well as the one from Steve Lightspeed, and to be honest they gave me a chuckle.
IMO this is another prime example of the industry shooting themselves in the foot.
Why? Because all you are doing is creating more tech savvy users, and while you are going after the "low hanging fruit", the generations after that will use means that are harder to track, detect and pursue, eventually leading up to a point that it costs more to find them then you ever could hope to recoup.
That is if you can find them at all.
Already there are private torrents, encrypted P2P tools, networks like TOR and it gets better. Just the other day I read about a Harvard student who has a P2P protocol in the works that roams decentralized, is encrypted and will make it impossible to find the users.
So while you are now hunting the easy targets, the ones after that will become harder and harder.
You can't stop piracy, Pandora's box has opened and it is far to late to shut it.
The music industry is facing that
The movie industry is facing that
The Adult industry will have to face it also, sooner or later. RIAA is costing money, instead of making some back.
The message you want to send out isn't received in the fashion you would hope. Instead of "don't go to those sites" its going to be "Use this and that tool, and they you are invisible".
So again: You are only creating more tech savvy surfers. This will backfire over time in a MAJOR way.
IMO you can't stop it, but you can profit from it, if the vids and the pics become promotional tools for shit you can't rip or copy (Live stuff).
IMO that's the way we should be heading, so for a change Adult will be on the front lines again of innovation, instead of being a mere shadow of her former self.
Use it instead of fighting it, would be a far better option.
