Being paid? A contribution from Manwin doesn't constitute getting paid. I wouldn't get out of bed in the morning for what AK has gotten from Manwin.

What AK is doing is exactly what is working and in my humble opinion...once he starts going after advertisers on file lockers that will most definitely spill over to the tube sites. The same exact companies are the ones making money for all the pirates.

When the whip comes down from Visa and MC over pirated material and advertising on those sites...it will extend to the tube sites from the billers themselves.

Just my thoughts on it. Not trying to argue. You're a guy that isn't doing anything to stop piracy, and I'm a guy that isn't doing anything. So neither of us are in a position to have an intelligent conversation about what will or won't happen.

But it does seem like common sense that if the time comes that MC and Visa say they no longer will bill for any company monetizing pirated content...then the tubes will feel that BIG time. Don't you think?
