This is the one thing none of you seem to get... Whatever you think hits you bad in terms of piracy, it hits us 10 times more. But this is a useless discussion among the people posting here since they found a scapegoat in Manwin to blame us for everything, it's easier this way for them...
Would you show us some of the DMCA's you send every month and inform someone like RYC of the sites you're finding breaking piracy rules.?

I admire what you've done with Babes.com and looking forward to viewing it, when it's ready. Brazzers isn't bad and Mofos IMO could be a lot better, unless you've changed them both. I personally don't care if 5-10 companies monopolise this business, it was always on the cards.

As for your Tubes, yes if it wasn't yours it would be one of the others, owned by other companies. Directing the moans at you as if you're the only or worse culprit is foolish. You're dead right, the traffic will go elsewhere and MW would lose out. Just don't get on a high horse as if you care. Piracy traffic forms part of MW's business plan. As it does all traffic sellers I suspect. And few point that out in the traffic selling/buying threads.

As for trying to win people over and improving your business. Here's an idea. Go after File Lockers and similar sites attacking their Achilles Heel, the money trail. Look for the sort of porn that's illegal and the types against Credit Card and processors TOS. DWB and a few others have done very well recently, take it up a notch to achieve more.

Set up a dept. inhouse or get another company to do it.

Also if you turn up to a seminar to give a talk, dress like a man who owns a 9 figure company, or part of it or someone who gets a decent wage. It's insulting to dress as you did. Don't announce 9 figures investment or loan sums until you're spending it and ready to show the purchases. Don't put some poor kid up in front of an audience of vipers who are looking to strike him. And don't send anyone here until he's welcome. It's all bad or foolish PR, the last one being cruel to the victim.

Last one just came into my head, include yourself in the last piece of advice. You just rile people p, yes I know. but I don't care. If you don't. Then they too have good reason to flame you.

Employ a PR company if you want to win people over. And a marketing person who knows more than driving traffic.

The good thing now for you is. This post will get you some breathing space while the trolls attack me.
