And what about advertising on Pirate Bay? How does Manwin ethically justify helping to fund and support what is universally recognized as one of the worst content theft syndicates on the net?

Fabian Thylmann pathetically whines that people are picking on poor little Nathan, as if he is the victim, and he apparently can't (or rather, doesn't want to) understand why anyone would be upset with an adult company advertising on a site like Pirate Bay whose existence is pretty much built upon content theft/piracy.

Thieves often don't respond honestly, they obfuscate, which may be why Fabian is so afraid to discuss anything remotely connected to business ethics, since he probably knows in his heart that he doesn't have a moral or ethical defense for what he knows is fundamentally ethically and morally wrong (setting aside his legal hair-splitting for the moment).

Supporting Pirate Bay invalidates Fabian Thylmann's claims that Manwin is trying to reform the former Mansef (which btw, implicitly acknowledges that he knows that what their tube sites were doing was wrong).

What it looks like to some observers, is that Mawin is co-opting people along the way, getting programs to submit content to Manwin's tube sites (kinda like paying a protection racket insurance to make sure that "nothing bad happens" to their content), while Manwin gets commissions from sales and advertising revenue, and simultaneously eliminates potential adversaries (that is how co-opting works).

Meanwhile, the whole time, Manwin has been quietly executing a plan to outsource the worst of their piracy activities to piracy partners such as the criminals at Pirate Bay.
