Many content producers had that same philosophy until incomes dropped 30% or more because they didn't focus on the theft, and didn't realize it was organized.

So you own a car dealership and a thief keeps stealing your cars. Each week you buy a new car, and each week he steals it, but you keep focused on making money to buy new cars, and your insurance quickly replaces each stolen car. One day you look across the street and there are all your stolen cars at a competing dealership. The dealership is 10x's bigger than yours because he was stealing from 10 other dealerships as well. Now he has the biggest dealership and the most variety to offer prospective customers.

The content creators left need to focus heavily on the theft now. It's not easy, but it will pay off in the end.

That's what's been happening. You didn't read who here has attorneys acting on this as we speak. You also don't just go and sue, you present your case and negotiate before filing. I'm guessing you don't know this because you haven't done it.

I don't see anyone even mentioning MindGeek. They are now one of the most reputable tubes. I'd be surprised if they were involved with any of this at this moment in time.
