I don't watermark it, I don't copyright it, nothing. When I caught people stealing it, I would usually ask them to remove it attempt to get it removed from wherever under sites abuse policies and it pretty much always worked.

Then I stopped caring and policing and you know what? My content continued getting more popular, my social velocity continued increasing, and I haven't lost a dime. Because you know why? Those people who intentionally pirate my content and try and pass it off as their own, suck, and will do it to anyone anyway any time. Fuck 'em.

Granted I'm not a multibillion dollar corrupt industry, a little protection is in order. Which brings me to my second point, I didn't read [as I admitted] and I didn't know the guy made money off of physical copies and then taunted the production company. Well, he deserved what he got.

STILL. Piracy isn't the same as theft. Potential loss is not the same as cost. 99% of you have all pirated or broken some such laws all the same. Legalism is great when you're on the high and mighty side, isn't it?
