Getting all these files taken down really does help. BUT, it would help a LOT more if everyone did it. It's not like pirated a normal movie. If you want to see Avatar but can't find a pirated version of it, you don't say to yourself, "I can't find Avatar, but here is 'Terms of Endearment, so I'll just watch that."

Porn is the opposite. When a guy can't find your scene with the blonde, he'll download the next scene with a blonde in it. Because SO many of the content out there is interchangeable, it doesn't really matter to that guy. That's why everyone has skin the game here.

If we are all in this together, helping each other to get our pirated files down, PLUS striving to make content that isn't so "generic" anymore, we can make a big dent in piracy and our bottom lines.

I say this both as a content producer and a co-owner of Porn Guardian. If you do DMCAs yourself, awesome! If you hire Eric, Nate or Porn Guardian to do it for you, AWESOME! But do SOMETHING, because the "head in the sand" routine won't work to your advantage.

And if you can't afford one of the fully staffed solutions (Porn Guardian, TakeDownPiracy or RemoveYourContent), then consider using our "do it yourself" platform. You don't have to pay the price for a staffed solution but still get the benefits of our industry-leading platform. If your problem is relatively small, this DIY version of Porn Guardian is absolutely free. Otherwise you can buy packages based on how many files you are taking down per month. Medium-sized companies could get by with < $100 per month if they needed to by doing it themselves and using our automation platform. More info on the PornGuardian website under "Services->FREE Do it Yourself Service."

Of course, a fully staffed solution is best. One guy in your office spending an hour a day on piracy is not the same as a 25-person staff (in our case, anyhow) looking for your content 24/7.
