That's what they would have you believe anyway. We should all be trying to figure out how to monetize worthless freeloader traffic (that we don't have anyway because it's all at the pirate sites...oh wait, I forgot...traffic junky will SELL the traffic they draw from your own stolen content right back to you!), or try to sell dating, cams, or dildos with your content.

Just walk past the dollars and pick up pennies because 2 guys who have never done anything in our business say so.
seriously what exactly about the statement
if you respect fair use you don't ever have a problem with piracy do you not understand

you want to take down both fair use (by reclassifying legitimate fair use as not really fair) and piracy at the same time

the doc argues you should simply market to piracy sources and collect whatever crumbs can be salvaged.

neither one of is adapting to the new marketplace, that the point

to put it simply

your actions are equal to the mpaa complaining to congress that the VCR will kill the industry

the docs is the equivalent of buying ads for theatre movies on television

neither is equal to the real solution of putting your shit on the cassettes and selling it to the VCR owners.
