It didn't make a lot of sense to me to spend a lot of money, time, and effort to protect my members area, lock down my video streams, and ferociously fight piracy, only to have those same scenes plastered across every pirate site with no watermark, ripped from a DVD. I also had a handful of situations where my DVDs accidentally ended up in DVD groups that were licensed to tube sites or content brokers, so that caused a bit of a cluster fuck and headache. In the end I decided the extra money wasn't worth the hassle. I work in a niche market and in a place where getting content isn't easy, so protecting the content is incredibly important to our online survival.
