I still don't understand why people don't get this. A few months back a rep from the tubesites had a thread asking to talk to people about licensing their content. I'm sure many many people quietly contact them and make an arrangement.
Once there is an agreement in place to pay for the content, nothing can be done about it from a 3rd party.
If I decide to go out and spend thousands of dollars on content, then turn around and for vanities sake have it on tubes or just give it away, that's my prerogative.
Tubes were inevitable, granted their inception could have been introduced more gracefully and in a more regulated matter but considering how uncooperative everyone here and the industry as a whole is, and the unwillingness to share or even donate a little bit of time to projects like this, it had to happen, and it did.
The other unfortunate thing is most people just bitch, and it ends there.
I can't conclude how much of which, lack of brains, utterly opportunistic ethics, lack of delayed gratification, a lack of understanding for utilitarianism (holding out for an environment that maximizes the good for everyone, paysite owners and affiliates alike), or people could simple give a shit.
The Stopfilelockers project is helping clean up the ecosystem for all media related businesses, not just adult.
It does bother me, AK keeps chugging along and I'll play my small part in helping when I can.
