I mean unless you were not paying attention in Costa Rica and did not attend certain seminars, you would of heard at least one large tube person mention it.
You may want to wrap your head around the fact that most successful pay sites have or had ventured into their own DVD lines by that time as well. Ripping it off from a DVD makes it pretty damn easy and keeps everything organized to boot.

So unless you are suggesting that all exclusive pay sites have not only protected their content via streaming, but also not tried to make any money via VOD, Clip stores, PPV, and DVD distribution. You can stop blowing that horn saying it would of protected people. Only people it would of protected would of been the tiny site owners who nobody notices anyways, which are pretty much the same ones the tubes ignore now.
