I've learned that the people complaining about the pirate tubes were right. Take a look around. 90% of the industry has been hurt when prior to 2007 we were all growing our revenues. Even the big guys are selling and getting out. Many of them left between 2008 and 2010. Sure Manwin has all the traffic but that's exactly what we said would happen. They get richer for a time while everyone else slowly gets poorer.

And there's a good chance that we're right about .xxx too and that thy will attempt to make it mandatory. You'd be a fool to discount that. I wonder what would have happened in 2007 if every sponsor and affiliate who went out of business between now and 2007 would have taken a stand? Maybe it's justice that some of those gone are the ones who didn't do jack shit to stop it.
