Exactly. I do not have a problem with Far-L, lagcam, or most rational people in the thread who actually are in this business full time and have made a valid counter point. I get along with DWB and have plenty of spirited debates. However, this thread is full of people who seem to want to pick and choose where they get offended despite their all sitting in the same boat.
- Adult programs own content or file lockers on the down low.
- Adult programs used to do shady cross sales or upsells.
- Adult programs run their own tube sites, whether with their content or "user submitted".
- Adult ad networks sell the ad space on those "user submitted" tube sites.
- Adult programs like MFC advertise on file lockers and pirate sites.
- Adult programs banging cards like a bad habit.
- Adult programs make money on the "user uploaded" content and in turn then go license legal content to mix it up.
That is just the tip of the iceberg. My point is, if you're an affiliate, you're promoting these people above. If you're a content provider, you are selling or shooting for these people above. If you're a traffic guy, you also are in bed with the same people I've mentioned. If you're and adult industry ISP, you're hosting those same company and people I just referenced.
Assuming you are completely independent and do not promote others, or buy and sell traffic (unlikely), and claim to be as clean as the preacher's sheets, let's see if you have receipts for every piece of software, music downloaded, video games, porn clips and alike you presume to "own". I'd bet a lot of the glass house tootsies would then keep trying to move that line of what is "acceptable" and not as it pertains to them with some level of 'everyone else is doing it'.
My intention was not going to get sucked into the debate with a bunch of hippocrites who seem to believe their level of "ethics" (i.e. theft) is somehow better than the other's because you steal from corporate conglomerates, while this guy stole from his past employer. It's wrong all the way around in the real world of black and white law. However I doubt most bashing this turd in the thread can truly prove they are preacher's sheets clean across the board. Whether personally, or professionally. Either they have done business in the past with those doing wrong, or they steal on a personal level for their own personal gain.
In the end, the only real debate here ultimate is where others "draw the line".
