The stigma of porn is fading fast, its being embraced by the mainstream so using that angle to scare people is pretty weak imo.

Keep in mind that this is not the way it's really happening. That article and the rantings of some of the posters who do NOT have skin in the game are not indicative of what this whole thing is about.
What it is about...is people seeing their livelihood being destroyed for almost 3 years now with ZERO recourse. Companies shutting down production, employees being fired, etc. Lives being screwed.
And for me personally, it's been the sheer frustration of seeing my work being stolen and not being able to do a thing about it.
This isn't about "threatening" people. Nobody does that in any way. But we KNOW that a lot of these people really don't want their surfing habits exposed. That's why an HONEST person who joins a porn site legitimately knows that their privacy is protected. They are billed discreetly...in our case LESS THAN A DOLLAR A DAY.
And then they can enjoy more porn than at any other time in history, legally and safely. But if they want to download "free" porn that is destroying our industry? Then fuck them.
This is real life. With real consequences. And if a person like me puts their ass on the line shooting, keeping 2257 docs, worrying about the govt. every damn day...only to see some assholes steal it? Well, that don't sit right with me. And I can and will do everything in my power to protect my business and ensure the welfare of my family.
And since people like me are right on the front lines...and not just theorizing about it like that clown damianj...I think we have a much better grip on what's really happening here.
I tend to go with people with knowledge and experience. Not some of the ramblings of people whose expertise is nowhere near this.
