I created my very first adult website many years ago when I was 18 and it literally saved my life a few times (my family is seriously fucked up, but that's a different story) and although during my best days I was making $30/day just from JuicyAds on a website with embedded videos from xvideos.com and although I did not host any content on my server, hosting company was taking me down on a regular basis because of DMCA complaint and then HostingGator sc**** over because they wanted $220 per month for hosting so I gave up, today old video aggregators making huge money.

After that, I tried to work with premium sites, I made a few sales and got a few checks but nothing breath-taking, but it helped a few times.

Nowadays, I have one subreddit with 25K users and one amateur tube website where I post 'rescued' and 'old but still worth to watch' videos from the net. So far only one guy reported one video and asked to be removed, but a few people told me that I am stealing content...

Is this really stealing? And how come it's okay if that video is on pornhub, xhamster, xvideos, etc? Pornhub created a porn emporium based on stolen content and where would they be without it?

So what are your thoughts about this? You can steal if you can steal enough?
