I exchanged a few emails with Nathan about a month ago. Two points worth mentioning from that conversation:
First, Nathan admitted to me that he profits from stolen content. He went on to say that only a small portion of his total income was from stolen content so he didn't have a problem with it. And, he said that he doesn't profit from stolen content "on purpose". The only way for him NOT to profit from stolen content is to shut down his tube sites, which according to Nathan ... he has no intention of doing.
Secondly, Nathan agreed with me that profiting from stolen content was unethical and that because he profits from stolen content, he is unethical. He concludes by saying that he considers himself to be one of the most honest people he knows.
You guys can conclude what you want to about Nathan, but my conclusion is that he's dishonest, unethical and not to be trusted. He's the kind of guy, in my opinion, that will stab you in the back, rob you blind and at the same time be trying to convince you that he's an honest and ethical businessman.
