They never will. Their empire is built on piracy and it would fall apart without it. But that doesn't mean I can't wish for them to change how they accept content.

Many people producing porn break the law, especially Americans, unless they are one of the two states it is legal in. Few people live in places where they can produce porn legally. They may live in a place where it is tolerated, but it's not legal. It is tolerated here too, it's just when someone has it out for you do you get arrested, or if you are caught shooting in public. However, Thais making porn do not get arrested. To put it all into perspective, prostitution is also illegal in Thailand, if you can believe that. And like porn producers, the police will arrest a foreign bar owner here and there, usually courtesy of another bar owner, and fines are paid, photos are taken, pats on the back are given, and the guy is back in business in 1 - 2 days tops IF he has the cash they are asking for.
Regarding Manwin not breaking the law, no one will ever know. Mansef certainly broke a lot of laws. That much we know. However, they breaking the law here by showing their sites to the country I live in. That is an illegal act here and in theory someone could have a Manwin employee arrested upon entering the country if one were so inclined. It could also be argued perhaps that by exposing minors to porn by not putting any warning on their tube sites, there may be some legal issue there, though, I don't know for sure. I'd have to ask Gideon about that.

It doesn't hide the fact he was clueless about the office, how much space he's supposedly renting and even down to how many floors. Any one who has worked in that building will know how many toilets there are on every floor. Fabian didn't have a clue. Which leads anyone with a working brain cell to know. He was clueless and never been there.

Mansef did. That much has been confirmed. Fabian says they deleted those accounts. Who knows?
I do think it's pretty naive to believe that so many people are uploading videos, 24-7, 365 days a year to these sites. If you look at the numbers of some of their users, the amount of content they are uploading is mind boggling and defies logic. Such numbers could only come from someone who is paid to upload and possibly people taking shifts. I suppose it could also come from someone awake for days on end smoking meth. But that is a dead end road so I'm not even concerned with it.
But it is what it is and that is that. Other than taking some pokes at Fabian here and there for shits and giggles, I honestly am not that concerned with Manwin. But that doesn't mean I am comfortable with the monopoly they are creating, as I believe the end game on that is not going to be a pretty one for most people.
