I think giving away full scenes for free on tubes is the single handed most idiotic thing we've ever done as an industry. It was not necessary. At the time when people starting giving it away, people were still paying for porn. But they fucked that up. So yea, I hate that model. It should be clips. I hope someone can find a weakness in the tubes (with pirated content) and go after them next. I doubt it will happen, but you never know. A month ago I didn't think I would see file lockers having their ass handed to them.

The other points you made we've discussed before. I commented on the motives behind Ak and his campaign. You say they make no difference, i don't agree. I guess if he does kill of every locker then it will be useful in some way and that's therefore a good thing. I see some very large lockers losing PP so my early claims nothing would happen were wrong. I already congratulated him on this. If he does not start with tubes next then that will open questions since he already stated he is doing this for the good of the industry.
I am not Frank. The odd coincidence only makes sense in your mind since there is nothing stopping the same person posting posting under many nicks at the same time.
"giving away full scenes for free on tubes is the single handed most idiotic thing we've ever done as an industry"
more like...
"stealing other peoples hard work and using it to destroy their business and take away every other possible revenue stream open to them is the single handed most evil thing a few people have done in this industry"
tubes = very easy to find and use for casual surfers, directly steal traffic, directly inhibit sign ups, directly steal cams, dating and all other revenue streams. Everyone i ask knows and uses tubes, only a few have heard of even the largest filelockers.
lockers= not so easy to find and use (forums full of dead links joining rars), take some traffic, take some sign ups, they themselves don't have cams or adult dating adds.
As i have said before, you seem okay, i just think a little too pro locker termination and a little too easy on tube justice. That's it. I hope if AK does go after tubes you will be as frequent a poster on that thread as you are on the lockers one.
