We can all live in hope. Reality is they can't.

Many people producing porn break the law,

So no accusations about breaking the law. We all sail close to that. I also crossed the line.

Regarding Manwin not breaking the law, no one will ever know.

Which is my point. The biggest company in porn "allegedly" and not one knows fuck all about it. Fabian doesn't seem to know much about it either.

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.

My thoughts on this is it would be a dangerous road to travel except for a criminal organisation that was in house. Because someone somewhere who isn't inside the organisation could spill the beans and open up a gigantic can of worms or blackmail them. As I'm not calling them criminal. I have to say it is real "user uploads". Still like you I find it amazing.

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.

I'm retired and never need to worry again about business. Notice the word need. This is a business I've been in and around since 1966 when it was run by criminals and I was I suppose part of it. I was definitely breaking the law in the UK selling unlicensed videos.
Still I love the industry and posting here keeps me abreast with it.
As for a few large companies taking over and squeezing out the rest. That was always going to happen. The way they did it was to give out more free content than anyone else. This condemns them to the same fate as the ones they squeeze out. hopefully they're not the big company they boast. Because firing people as the markets shrink sucks. Anyone who thinks this business not in decline, is living in denial. You can't build a castle on sand.
