    As views have been requested on the subject of illegal porn, here comes mine.

    Piracy of intellectual property is considered by all those who partake in it as being a soft crime, fo which a self-pardon can be justified on the grounds "I'm not hurting anyone", "everyone does it", "it's not like I am going to get busted for it" or "like they need any more money, they are obviously doing just fine".

    By you know what, I don't pirate anything. I don't buy DVDs before their official release from a car boot sale, I don't download music unless I have paid my 99 cents to ITunes, shit, I don't even upload a porn pic unless I own it or have paid for it.

    And before you think it, it is not because I am those assholes who can't be bothered to get it for free or worse, doesn't know how. It is because I happen to know that by partaking in an act of piracy, I actually do hurt someone, I find myself unable to justify my ethics through the actions of a majority and I consider myself as not having the right to judge upon the right to success of another.

    But at the end of the day, all of the philosophy and ethics I have just imparted are already understood by the so very many who choose to pirate but it is willingly dismissed in the belief that such actions will make no difference in either their lives or in that of the victims of their piracy.

    So now let me present the reality of piracy:

    Even in the most conservative of estimates, I have lost, this year, at least 40 to 50 percent of my revenue from the purchase of non-original DVD copies, Internet publication without licence and stolen passwords for access to commercial web sites.
    That 40-50% has denied me the funds necessary to succeed in my legal battle with the US government, which has resulted to date, in not just the indefinite release of new DVDs and hardcore content on Joannajet.com (that pirates considered as worth spending the time to download illegaly) but also in the firing of three, very talented and able, US citizens because I could not be there to offset the revenue being lost to piracy...
    For fuck's sake, even the graphic design company who works on my boxcovers has had to fire someone because I am no longer releasing often enough.

    Whether it be porn, movies, music, software or any other form of intangible product, those that acquire it without remunerating it's creator consider themselves as pirates and somehow that makes it OK.
    Well if you are such a pirate, I doubt that you are on a ship, wear an eye patch, have scurvy, strut around on a wooden leg or sport a foul-mouthed parrot on your shoulder so let's cut out the self-indulgent glamourous name calling and face up to the fact that you nothing more than a petty thief robbing behind the anynomity of a keyboard.

    So there you have it, that is my view on the download of illegal TS porn.

    As you will have cleary seen, I feel very strongly on this matter but, unfortunately, it seems that only those who rely on the return from their creative efforts can truly appreciate and respect the value it deserves.

    And so I close with a question...

    If, when you looked at your next paycheck, you saw a smiley face and a "Fuck you" comment next to a $100 deduction, how would you feel that someone had helped themselves to your hard-earned income just because they could and that this was OK because they had judged you could do without it?

    Only 2 persons know why i'm here, both 2 transsexuals. The first one "introduced" me
    into this "lovely" world, and the second one got it through my "confession". I thought
    she could help me to figure out some stuffs, but it went @ wrong hole. And it was mainly
    my mistake.

    Why do you consider my posts being misguided barbs? It's perfectly OK having freedom to choose
    adult profession, but once again: I do not really think that some (actually many) people choose
    to work for adult industry, but they are rather forced to do so. If they are not forced, then
    they have some serious issues inside themselfs. And some other people use it. But you might be right, being in that industry and
    not the millitary one makes them not killing other people.

    Also, i'll tell you this: I know some people whose daughter voluntarily went into that "industry".
    Believe me or not, they behave like they lost something invaluable. It's literarely impossible
    to mention their daughter's name in front of them, because if you do so, you'll hit them hard,
    you kind of remind them that there is a hell on the earth to be aware of. So the daughter enjoys
    her own life, but at the same time she destroyed at least 2 other lives.

    Actually, you're wrong about that, Superman. Many of us know who you are and what your agenda here is. And that you've used your company's computer to log on to porn sites. And the name of the that company. And that you have no problem hacking into sites and abusing strangers' privacy who've done nothing to you. And that you're conflicted, self-righteous and hypocritical.

    Since I can't delete this entirely, I'll just add this: Why patronize a business you hate? Many people spend their whole lives in an office doing something they'd rather not do in the name of security. Many people outside of sex work still hurt others or themselves with risky sexual behavior. Your porn star friend's main mistake was letting her parents find out. Brianna Banks' family still doesn't know, or so she says. My ex fiancee got us out of a financial hole in six months by becoming a dancer. Her family has no idea. I hired a female escort a few months ago who's 24 and lives with her mother. She goes to college and escorts to enable herself to finance her school, and keep the pressure off her mom. You grow up, you make your choices, and you accept the consequences. Many of the transexuals here could probably tell you that their parents were shocked or hurt, whether or not they came to terms with it.
    It's neither my place nor yours to sit in judgement of them. You've fucked a transexual. You look at porn. Get over it. I'm sure the parents of a porn star would decline to change places with the parents of a dead soldier, and if they don't feel that way, shame on them.

    What Joanna & Seanchai said!

    Although I'm not producing porn material (well none of it has been released yet) I'm doing lots of free sites to promote other's paysites (grooby sites, personal shemale sites, etc...) and quite often I notice while looking in google listings that some people just steal my galleries/freesites, change the affiliate link and upload it.
    That definately sucks and I send a complaint mail/email every time most without effect usually...

    Well that's just a silly comment.
    So you don't buy anything but why do you think they post those advertisements over all of yahoo for fun or because corporations are paying them based on their amount of traffic and surfers.
    Please think before you speak.

    I always think before I speak, Seanchai. Read my posts. I don't have a single porn movie I haven't paid full price for. Same with music and software. I paid $799 for a single cdrom of a program called Cubase six years ago, and it's still the only recording software I use. Yahoo and Hotmail usually have mortgage refinance ads, ads for match or true.com, and other services I'm not interested in. If they ever advertise something I want, I'll gladly buy it and mention the site that brought it to my attention, but I'm not going to buy something I don't want - just to support friggin' Microsoft. I was just mentioning it out of curiosity. Do you really think someone who wants to refinance their mortgage is going to go to a company called LowerMyBills.com that features annoying flash banners rather than a reputable company? Don't be so crabby!

    Good point Suckseed but yahoo and those sites still continue to make money from those sites/giving away or allowing people to show porn even though you don't click on their ads?

    Crabby ... good word which I haven't used in a long time, rest assured it will be used on someone today!

    Thanks for filling in the background on McManaman although I think he exposed himself for the bigotted, hypocrit that he is and still failed to answer the questions. I think I'll let the argument rest now as it's futile debating withg a zealot.
