With all due respect Dallas, I believe this is the wrong path to go down. Music did this with dowloaders and it was horrible pr. It wasn't until they got napster that MOST casual piracy in the music industry stopped. And what that took was a concerted effort from the major music companies to make a stand. Until the major players in the adult industry pool resources and make that stand our content will be ripped off and devalued.

Unfortunately, this industry is too disjointed to be able to lockstep and attack the problem. Instead you have big players cutting deals with the biggest offenders under the excuse of adapt or die.

Suing individuals will absolutely backfire and draw unwanted/needed bad publicity to the industry.
