This is the most HORSE SHIT thing I hear constantly from people.

I whack moles and they stay down and others DO NOT pop up right away - fighting piracy of your content WORKS. Anyone that spends the time and effort to protect their intellectual property knows that keeping your stuff exclusive and unseen will directly increase your revenue.

When you say fighting piracy is whack a mole - producers read that and they don't even try - this is incredibly damaging. Content Producers who do nothing to protect their stuff are a HUGE problem, it gives carte blanche freedom for thieves to run hog wild

I read so many otherwise intelligent people saying things like "If you just spent your time working on shooting forgot about chasing pirates you would end up more successful in the end" This attitude is what empowers pirates to continue their leeching and wholesale destruction of the industry.

Also the biggie is "The people who pay for porn are a totally different consumer that people who torrent" While this has some element of truth there for many types of content it's not true at all. The more targeted and specific your material is, the more rare, unique, or sought after your content is - the less this is true. My content is rare and highly sought after and the exact same guys will gladly pay me or pay a filelocker or do torrents. I see instant and direct results from takedowns.

This industry is systematically LETTING piracy happen through complacency and inaction. When you guys throw up your hands and say "Well there is so much piracy nothing you can do to stop it" BULLSHIT. I go after them with private investigators, lawyers and shit storms of DMCA. And they stop, they stop NOW.

When you are a small company with highly specific and highly in demand content - piracy is DEVASTATING. I have some pirates that probably make as much money as I do with my content, the few who refuse to stop will regret it and I am not talking about shooting them or beating them up, street justice can take many forms and I am smart enough not to land in jail.

You assholes chose to make DMCA impossible so the gloves are off now with regards to a couple of my worst offenders (pretty sure 2 of them are here on GFY) I'm sitting here looking at photos of them - full Names, Address, DOB, moms address', GF's address, DL - backgrounds, employers.

You think I won't serve papers to your moms house so she can read the whole compliant and know what a scumbag you are? You think I won't drop a file on your GF's table at starbucks or show up at your wedding (yes she instagrams your entire life) and make a scene? You think I won't walk in and have a talk with your boss about what you are doing with your work computer on company time?

Non-standard forms of fighting pirates don't necessarily mean violence or killing. But if I caught someone in my house stealing jewelry they might not survive, and this isn't a whole lot different.
