And then I watched all my money I was making as an affiliate start to drop quickly.
So I had to figure out what was happening.
But for you to think that the pirate tube sites were out buying content in 2007/2008/2009 etc. is total bullshit.
They were dead ass stealing everything and making money with traffic.
I'm not gonna start an argument with you. I like you and respect you.
But again...I will say to you...what IF someone bought ALL of your content. One purchase. And then it ALL got "user uploaded" to file locker where all the people who now buy your content wouldn't have to buy it anymore. They could just steal it and then "user upload" it to their own pirate sites?
You would be singing an entirely different tune then. And those wonderful tube sites that are buying your stuff now would no longer need to do so. They could just have it "user uploaded" and then you would know how it feels to get fucked like the rest of us have.

Robbie - with all due respect - Youporn for example licensed my library in 2010 - which is way after the first studios had already had licensed their content to them. If you want to say that is bullshit, i'll email you the invoice.
And all the things you wrote happened to me - but I never made a big fuss about it in public. From some tubes I had my stuff removed because I knew people and they were not interested in licensing.
and for file sharing i pay
xTakeDowns.com - Copyright Protection For Your Adult Content for a while already - every month
but you know what is killing my (non-exclusive) business?
Paysites with exclusive content that nowadays happily provide 10-15 min videos for free to tubes which makes it obsolete for them to license content - which they had to do when the got only 1 or 3 min promo clips
and then there are those that use DMCA to its full extent and trust me, that doesn't make me happy either - i have lost quite a few clients over the years that gave up on this daily struggle.
i think you misunderstand me when you think i would be defending anybody, i am just stating my subjective experience from the dawning of the tubes until now
