If everyone wants to have a little bit of fun just take 10 minutes a day and pop in fake seeders. If every legit webmaster did that it would kill the Pirate bays and sharing immensely to the point of a waste of time for surfers.

IF 10 minutes a day every one of us did this for a year Piracy would have some huge problems. You can create 1000 fake seeds in a minute. Flood them and they will die.

If you need a few trojans I got a few.
Piracy is bloody annoying to the producers. However the reason for the decline of online is isn't piracy. It's free porn. Teaching surfers that porn doesn't need to be paid for, when you're trying to sell it, is the stupidest thing ever. Even from the early days it was obvious so many were getting off without paying.

Paul: If so many of us were/are "wrong" as you constantly point out in almost every thread you either start or post in, then HOW do we manage to stay in business, make a living, feed our family, grow our businesses, etc etc?

Not everyone is against Paul but his never-ending rants about how others are wrong or are just not doing it right are tiresome and just plain inaccurate.
The biggest issue with Peabody is he has a low target. He misses the fact that 99.05% of people who like porn don't have to buy it. Set your targets higher.

I never said the system doesn't work totally. I never said a lot of people could make a living.

What I say is a lot of people missed out on making millions. Some Billions. Porn should be easy to sell, it never was that hard. Today it's been turned into hard work.

If you think giving the product you're trying to sell, away for free. Is good business please explain how it works. Bad business still makes money, just not as much. Unless you're like Robbie was and earning a living from the bad business practices. Even he could of made 10 times more if the bar was set higher to entry to online porn.
