Dude, trust me...I've never met Damian. He may be a nice guy in real life. And he may have some good ideas in the field of email marketing. But that's where it ends in my opinion.
He has been nothing but disrespectful and before I put him on ignore for being so disrespectful I couldn't help but notice that he tried to discourage anybody from protecting themselves and their income.
It doesn't make any sense to me, but that's what he does.
As far as this law goes...It's obvious to me that STEALING is not a business model and it's killing many companies (talking mainstream). It has to be curtailed. It destroyed my affiliate side of my business. Caused me to lay off all 3 employees I had.
It isn't right. And "yes" it's time for something to replace the outdated DMCA.
I've been pretty damn successful at this. And I've "adapted" each time and had great success to whatever came my way.
In the end it doesn't matter what you or I think about this. It's gonna happen (hopefully sooner than later).
I don't see any downside to my business from this law. All I see is a definite UPSWING in money.
I think that the folks screaming about "losing our freedom" by stopping people from stealing are being drama queens. That's just my opinion.
In the end...it's going to happen. And I hope that you and the rest of my peers here on GFY are able to hang on until then and then be able to prosper as you should from your hard work.

Damian sees the world as he wants it to be. Not a real world, just the world he imagines.
I worked in offline porn for a long time and I know how it flourished. If by some fluke and it will be a fluke, porn is removed from online the boost to porn will be enormous. Millions now hooked on porn will
have to go out ad buy it. For pornographers this will be a boost of money that will make them stagger. for people who are just in the "marketing" of porn it will be a devastation. They are terrified of this.
However this is me doing a Damian and seeing a world as I would lie it and not the real one. In the real world, piracy sites will come down. Sites that accept any content from anyone, will close. Even TGPs. It will change the business in ways none of you can imagine. You will have to make sure the content you have is 100% legal. If not, you run the risk of the owner of that content, closing you down.
It will have an effect on the number of people looking at porn. The selection of free porn will be limited. Because no site will accept content from anyone, without a huge risk of losing their business. This could have a huge effect on sign ups. Limit the free porn and then more will
have pay. Unless big sites decide with the new dawn approaching to keep giving porn away for free.
If someone shuts down a legitimate legal site with malicious lies that the content is stolen. They will face the consequences. This will happen outside our little bubble of online porn.
Will it even effect advertising. Will a site like GFY be liable for an advert carrying pirated content?
Adapt or die.
