You deal in traffic. Can you give us links to all the sites where you get the traffic from?
Not having a go at you directly, just pointing out the fault of the whole industry and the ludicrous idea of your thread.
Let's look at the title.
Louis C.K.
cuts out the middleman and sells his performance video for $5, comments on torrents.
This is the part that matter IMO. He
cuts out the middleman which in online porn is you and every other free porn site giving away tons of free porn to get a few sign up in the 1,000s who consume.
We constantly see people putting ads, content or buying traffic from sites that have pirated content on. At the last show I will probably ever attend. Were big banner ads for Tube sites selling traffic, some of those Tubes have pirated content on or very likely they do. Go onto Google search for "Free porn forums" and see who advertises on them. Flirt4free were advertising on one and when I pointed it out, he said he had suspended the affiliate. Not banned, suspended. Why because he wasn't sure it was a site promoting piracy?
The ad stayed up there for ages. Did he redirect the traffic? No. They just kept sending him free traffic. Maybe his company had bought the ad space and the clicks. So the\y were waiting to get their money's worth.
Still no one checked about there the ads were being placed. And this isn't be any means unique.
Not only is "the middle man" the most important part of online porn, some sponsors are more than willing to support the pirates.
Until it becomes illegal to support pirates, it will continue.
