Guess what ...
That is exactly what happen to me last year! Someone purchased one of my DVDs and his curious child got caught with it at school. A couple of days later, there was a knock at my door and questions and lawyers got involved. What ended the questioning was my documentation on the sale and how the sale occured.
In the end that 1 dvd sale cost me about just over a thousand dollars to my lawyer. Not including my lost time, the gas used in my car and having the police being opportunists and going through all my peformer records to make certain I was not filming minors.
I have no beef with you. You certainly seem like a decent person and I am not looking for a fight. But the internet has a real « herd » mentality. One man gets an idea and enough people appear to like it and before you know it... Like pack elephants holding each other tails, they all start doing the same dumb thing believing it is correct. And it only gets worse if someone makes a 10$ in the process.
As for all this blablabla about « Out dated business models »
It is just another example of Internet herds. Because 99% of the people throw that expresson around and have no idea what it really means.
The vast majority of my product is on DVD and I am seeing less and less reasons to go on the Internet. I am not a big shot or a big production house but I have been growing slowly and steadily every year since the early 1980s. I attribute that growth to a strict adhearance to sound orthodox business practices, including always making a quality product and strong customer service.
It may suprise you to know that I still have requests for VHS and last week I even sold an old Super 8 film.
(((( Before anyone asks what I am doing here since I am not selling by the Internet... I came her because of stop file lockers and I am keeping myself informed of the Industry )))

you have them publicly saying they will disable sites but they can't police it themselves to bring it to their attention but no one wants to post links to see if they will honor their statements, no it is more fun to argue and try to get each other's lawyer's phone number. No wonder you idiots are broke.

I am sure you know the old saying...
If you see a job that needs to be done...
Congratulations it is yours.
All I will say is that like in the situation of google, perhaps some of these sites should stop automating their systems and start employing a few human beings to do the job?
