Sure its easy to judge, we do it every day. I have professional relationships with people in this very industry who were immediately effected by the theft of their content, only to see it published to sites like PornHub. I walked away from what later turned out to be hundreds of millions because a business partner of mine decided to compete with PH, and I wholely disagreed with the business model which relied on stolen content.

And PornHub ... the issue with V and MC temporarily pulling the processing was directly caused by PornHub's willful and intentional actions and not caused by the industry at large. Conservatives can always look for a reason to censor the porn industry, so why give them a reason? When content producers flagrantly post hardcore images to open, easily accessible, public sites, those very producers deserve what is coming to them. This industry has repeatedly failed to self regulate. Maybe its time that it does. Unfortunately it won't. Instead the industry at large will continue to cry that they are the victim here.
