How anyone can condone content theft is really beyond me, especially high trafficked TGP owners :eek:

What do you folks think about this, do TGP owners know full well they are accepting galleries with stolen content and profiting from them just to increase their daily submissions?

Lee with all due respect to you as this boards admin and an upstanding member of the community you should be ashamed of yourself for dirtying your hands in this matter and I will be happy to tell you why!

About a year ago when I brought to both boards the facts of a SPONSOR using unlicensed cd content which was both outstanding content and illegal as hell, everyone knew the words I spoke were true and to the point.
Yet the largest webmasters in the gay niche continued to allow that sponsor to both promote on their sites and allow gallery submitters to submit galleries from their bank of free hosted galleries illegal content to the largest playing sites in the gay niche both then and today and you people stood idle and did not support us in stopping that sponsor or even commenting to the webmasters who were knowingly allowing the stolen content to be on their sites and that was an "Open house situation" from the beginning almost.

I find it interesting that now when the cause suits you to "get involved" and comment against a content thief who's been submitting those galleries for just over a year to all our sites and everyone else's - it just leaves me to wonder WHY and what personal gain is involved.

You look the other way when asked for help in stopping a SPONSOR who was using known stolen content that had been confirmed by the producers, now a year later with an exact one you are vocal about it.
And webmasters continued to trade traffic with and allow posts of the stolen content openly knowing all this and nobody would support stopping them, I stood nearly alone in the mission to make them "get legal" so we would not have a situation like this week months or years later as we do now in this matter. As I said previously the two webmasters who did this have done so for more than a year while everyone stood by and watched while they filled up sites with these galleries, it does me absolutely NO good to stomp my feet and delete galleries and blacklist a webmaster when they can go right over to another mgp site and post with no problem and the entire community looks the other way watching and saying nothing!

You and other webmasters aided in forming my "Dont get involved" policy where stolen content is concerned - I was boldly even told by some site operators larger than myself that - it wasnt my business and that if I blacklisted the webmasters using the content they would simply post it to their sites and thats EXACTLY what I did and EXACTLY what happened - I blacklisted the sponsors hosted gallery urls across all my sites and they went right to the largest mgp sites and continued posting away ~

Why.... when I was not supported in this same issue before is it now a criminal offence suddenly - there can really be no good answer for this its just a double standard quite plainly.
