Everyone's looking to blame the problem on something, the weak DMCA, tubes, even the talent has been blamed in this thread. I say the real blame will always circle back to those people who've sought ways to give away more and more free porn. As in people from our own ranks. IE: Webmasters.

Seriously, what other industry does this? Certainly not the food industry, I see no massive giveaways going on at any of my local markets. Clothing? Nope. Movie industry perhaps? Hmm, still seems to cost about a dozen bucks to get into a theatre these days, and a fairly tight lid is kept on pirating of new films. Why would Hollywood do this when they could set up movie tube sites and give their stuff away for free? Oh that's right, they're in it to make money. Shit why didn't we think of that?
