Not all tubes use stolen content just like not all porn site webmasters sell child pron.

Give everything away for free, at a time where nobody wants to pay for non-essential needs, and this is what you get.

Point fingers and blame cross sales all you want, but those of you who are giving away tons of content for free are the true turncoats.

I do not offer cross sales (checked or unchecked) and I do agree that hidden cross sales are bullshit, but all of you who jump on the tube bandwagon are the ones who are doing the most damage by far.
