I have to be honest and am confused why Damian, who isn't involved in piracy in any way, is so anti any measures fighting piracy.

All of that would have more of a result on your bottom line that trying to push water uphill.

Why is he worried about Governments spending money to stop piracy? Costs to him are so low it's not even going to put a GB Pound on his tax bill and $0 is the US does it.
And what's the point of creating a great product if you don't fight pirates who will steal it and give it away for free? That should be the time to step up the fight. Nubiles new sight, Met Art, X-Art, Orgasm.xxx, Babes.com. These sites absolutely
have to fight the pirates of their products, otherwise a lot of the benefit of creating a better product and taking on the extra cost. Is wasted and we know how Damian hates waste.

It's an anti wasting time and money trying to stop something you can't stop drum. Big difference.
I'm pointing out that blocking access to one torrent site, in 2012 when torrents stopped being popular about 5 years ago is worthless. Why do you disagree with this?

So the Feds have dropped all charges against Kim Dotcom? I suspect they have dealt a huge blow against his operation and cost him a lot of money.
Again he's worried about the US Feds wasting time. He's a UK citizen so why does this concern him?
Torrents are less popular today or dead and buried?

We've trained consumers not to trust us with prechecked hidden cross sales and card banging. With shit sites. With misleading free trials. With recycled content. With circle jerks. With diallers. We make cookie cutter product that is boring. We have fucked ourselves.

Piracy effects many industries and peoples jobs. Porn's biggest problem is the proliferation of free legal content. The people lobbying for a fight against piracy are rarely from the porn industry. They're from the movie, music, programming and games industry. Is he saying that they don't spend enough on their products and;
"trained consumers not to trust them with prechecked hidden cross sales and card banging. With shit products. With misleading free trailers and samples. With recycled content. They make cookie cutter product that is boring. They have fucked themselves."
The fight against piracy has little to do with porn sales and the porn industry. It's a much bigger thing than that.
Obviously if the fight against piracy ever did have a positive effect on the industry. Damian might get to share in some of the extra money spent on porn. Even if it had no effect there's a chance that by cutting back on piracy it will bring more jobs, investment and tax revenues to the countries creating the products. It definitely won't lead to less jobs. Except for those in the piracy industry, which we know isn't Damian. Because he has said so.
