Piracy tubes don't download all our shit every day from all the hell over, that's crazy. They pull it from single sources, forums. Which is why same scenes get re-pirated, over and over - it was simply scrapped again.

That's just the really private/group forums (and every group, has a forum).. they actually feed user forums, based on request/demand. Some of these forums are so large, they can crash gallery boxes that can normally take the load of all the traffic sources of our industry, but not a single Piracy forum.

Piracy is what I started in, it's what has made me the most money, about 90% of all the money I've made is through Piracy traffic. I know which sources were big and dried up and I know what's hot today.. And today it's still the best way to build lists on the Internet...
