And excuse me...Digital Playground wasn't crippled compared to what they once were?
Twistys was still making money like it was 2005? (Though Twistys was probably doing a lot better than DP was by that point).
Playboy's online presence was kicking ass? (have to admit that they were barely treading water even BEFORE piracy lol)
Hey, I'm not saying that getting those sites wasn't a VERY good idea. I'm just saying that you got them for pennies on the dollar compared to what their worth was BEFORE piracy went berserk. Low hanging fruit.
But if you want to spin it like you got them at the top of their game then be my guest.
Doesn't really matter. Things will play out one way or another.
Bottom line is...you're living the high life now. But every accomplishment you've listed, and every bit of money that you've spent has come in a BIG part from the work of others that was pirated and put up on your tubes.
I earn my money from my work. You earn a large part off other people's work.

This is my problem with MW. No one knows anything about who or what they are. All we have is what we can see. A "managing partner" who can't buy some decent casual clothes, or clean clothes.
A lot of bullshit about the price it was bought for.
No info on where the money came from.
Staff that few have seen and now FT tells us they have a cafeteria on the ground floor, how many floors do they occupy in that building? As there seems to be other companies in this building.
A 9 figure sum that seems to have just sat in a bank somewhere and FT side tracking the thread to avoid answering it. Are we going to get an answer on why this 9 figure sum has been dormant for so long FT, or is it "in motion"?
Claims about sending out 1,000s of DMCAs and no proof offered.
They're buying up companies at a time when most would sell to get shot and out of porn. For undisclosed figures again.
In fact what does anyone know for sure about MW? For sure, not for what they think they know.

Irony is a funny thing.

Ultimately MW will learn that piracy isn't something they can control. Either the 1,000s of DMCAs sent out has proved that to them or they're lying. Pirates will have control until laws change. Till then the only way we have to slow it down is to attack the money. Attacking hosting isn't possible on the scale FT talks about. Yes more of his BS.
