Porn movie pirates, beware: You may be sued

I'm still waiting to be sued for downloading the Sims 3.
 
Simple solution to this....people should band together and boycott the studios who are participating in this.

Then we'll see who's balls are bigger, an industry's balls who is survived by those who enjoy their product or the supporters of said product even if they don't always pay for the material.

I don't know what the answer to this is but it sure as shit ain't attacking the people who you make money from.

Porn is big business but it is nonetheless fledgling on the hinges of all sorts of opponents inherent to the trade. Why create enemies out of friends?

Who has the bigger hammer, consumers who if they exercised their options in fighting back could basically bankrupt some of these studios...to where...piracy and losing money here and there could amount to a wholesale ass kicking or the studios trying to gimmick their way into shaming people for checks?

This probably sounds really stupid, but how do you know when you illegally download porn?
There are some sites that let you download when you pay a subscription, and others that let you download when you join as a member!
 
Unless somebody is scared enough to just give in as soon as some letter arrives in the mail I don't see how this could really be effective. No deterrent effect has ever been successful with electronic piracy, even the ones that were smarter than this, anyhow.

Not only that, but considering the legal expenses that it would take to actually go after somebody (and remember the porn industry has much less cash and resources do things like this than the music and movie industry.) that didn't want to cooperate, the huge mess with jurisdictions, and the fact that a lot of those people might very well not have the money to be sued out of in the first place it doesn't seem like a very good strategy unless somebody was stupid enough to break down over their relatively empty threats and blindly send them money.

It could also be brought up that unless somebody is a really big time world class electronic pirate I also can't see it being cost effective for porn producers.
 
this is NOTHING
you need to be shitting your pants over the Protect IP Act about to be passed
those distributing or linking to copyrighted material will be treated as "enemies of tge state"

no more tube sites
 
Just do what I would do. Shred the letter and ignore it. Letters like that are nothing but a fishing expedition and they are hoping that people will be duimb enough or scared enough to respond. This is nothing more than an attempt to extort money from people using attorneys. Fucking scumbag companys and their attorneys always piss me off. Hmmmmm I might have to go post in the "what pisses you off" thread again.

Seems you've answered your own question from what I can see.

No, Joe Q Public isn't. At minimum these people could win many of these on default as people fail to respond.

I think the consumer ought to come down hard on them not because the consumer of allegedly pirated material is right or wrong but this is IMO a clear attempt to take advantage of a situation and bilk people.

I think if someone broadcasts something they legally own and another person captures it....too bad IMO.

This is just the nature of that business...work to make it tougher to for people to get unauthorized copies of your copyrighted work.

Don't try to go after the very (type of) people who may have spent their money helping your industry become what it is today.

I do admit that I don't know enough about all of this stuff but my basic premise is I don't like them using the system to as a means of raiding the pockets of people who obviously like their work.

Someone is a fan of your work...work with them to give them what they want...not give them the no Vaseline treatment.

But that requires a make lemonade from lemons mentality and not a shyster's mentality.

In an industry where some people try creatively "drive" revenue with things like the "their fish is throwing up bubbles" fund to line their pockets...what else should we expect?

What if you sell or give away DVDs?

Are they going to come to everyone's home?

How are they going to prove this?

What if you change your harddrive, computer, IP provider?

Until these idiots in these corporations and companies can get the definitions between THEFT and PIRACY right, I will continue to download porn, music, movies, etc. In the meantime, here's a helpful little guide everyone can understand:

That pic doesn't make sense. I mean sure you don't care if your car would be "copied" and is still there but Honda probably would be pissed as that's one less car sold.

I didn't make that pic, I only copied it. The original was made by someone else and I just pirated it. Get the idea?
