Re: Grooby Legal Action against Piracy ...
Oh no, we'd LOVE to get rid of piracy. In the few days the file lockers have been down we've seen traffic rise and since we've started a very aggressive approach against piracy, DMCA'ing over 30,000 links a month and making it as difficult as possible for people to find our content, sales have held as well as we could expect.
The end-user litigation we've brought against people is just part of our legal action - we've served papers on a number of US individuals directly whom we have overwhelming evidence of sharing our files and if they don't appear in court, they will have the judgement ruled against them automatically (watch this space).
As I stated though, we'd love to get rid of piracy so we could concentrate on what we like doing best which is producing and marketing TS porn and all that goes with it.

Re: Grooby Legal Action against Piracy ...
How much of our content do you see on those tube sites you mentioned?
I'm all for free speech and freedom, so don't be a douche trying to bring that in. Theft has nothing to do with limiting free speech.
What's your address? I want to use my freedom of speech to come around and steal your property.

Re: Grooby Legal Action against Piracy ...
Yes of course. It would certainly be better to try to come up with new business models that provide revenue than to rely solely on litigion. I think sites that make money selling stolen stuff should be taken down and the owners prosecuted, and I'm never going to argue against that. What I fear is that the sheer scale of the issue, in terms of the numbers of people who download copyrighted material for their own use, will mean that again and again we'll see the mushroom effect, that the more sites are taken down, the more will spring up, and as I said before, people will end up paying fortunes to lawyers to play whack-a-mole. The obvious comparisons are with the drug trade and prostitution; in both cases huge amounts of money are invested in criminalising both the purveyors and the users, to very little effect.
Basically, copyright is a print-era way of thinking. In the internet era, people are growing used to getting content for free. Quite often, as in the case of the web browser I'm using, this is quite legal and the intended use of the designers of the software. But the culture of free access is promoted on the back of that, and it is not a tide that can be turned back.
I don't know what the solution is, or are, since there will have to be many. But the quicker we start coming up with them the better.

Re: Grooby Legal Action against Piracy ...
Umm so what would he be selling, exactly? A watchable stream can be saved to the local computer and subsequently redistributed. This may take a little bit of know-how when protection is in place to stop that, but it can always be done.

I'm not sure this thread--since it deals specifically with Grooby's actions--is the best place for this, but WTF. This article carries a lot of sense.
