Again though, I have no idea about your product, products/

But if you could effectively have the groups and a following, again, depending on what your selling, that might be prudent as well. Idk, cars get stolen, but I have a car. There is risk in everything. However, there are also a ton of good anti piracy tools in place, as is, like strongbox, people that you can hire to search the net for infringement, etc. I would assume, however, that this is all at the mercy of your current business model, anyway.
I know it is contrary to everything we are told. But I have spent more than 40 years in porn doing the opposite of what everyone else is doing. After some sluggish to stale growth between 2000 and 2004, my business has been growing steadily since 2005 and my worst years were actually 1981 and 1982. Today my biggest problem today is my old age.

Piracy has always been a problem in this industry. However in the 1970s I used to just make a phone call to Violi and the problem was fixed. Today it takes a little bit of unorthodox thinking. I have an on going problem with gypsies downloading from file lockers my films and then selling copies for 2 euros on the streets.

Obviously the solution is
  1. keeping my films out of the hands of those that will rip it.
  2. When one of my films is pirated knowing the source of the pracy
  3. Going after the source real fast and ruining their life.
  4. Getting copies of my films off the streets after the piracy has occured.

Doing the above requires a large amount of control over the product. And that can not be accomplished using the Internet.
