But I'm not convinced that's the case. What I think is happening, instead, is that people are being further conditioned to seek out stuff for free and avoid paying at all costs, thanks to the amazing ease with which they can acquire everything for free.

Your site doesn't become a destination on their web browser. Instead, the site featuring your pirated videos becomes the destination on their web browser and the only place they will ever go to get your videos.

When it's so easy to get everything for free, they have zero incentive to buy - regardless of how great you make your site, how great you make your videos, or anything else.

Once they're conditioned to get it all for free, they're lost.
I totally agree, and well put.

A couple months ago two of my sites were uploaded to upthebum.org part of Gaytorrentnews.org.

And I don't mean a few videos from my sites.. I mean ALL OF THE CONTENT from two of my sites.

I've sent the S&D to no avail, as others will.

The fucked up thing is they have an upload/download system where if you download more then you upload to their site you're "account" is suspended. WTF? So in order to be an active member you are encouraged to keep stealing from other sites, so you can keep downloading stolen content that others take.

It's mind numbing to watch all the "thank yous" and "great videos" posts that users submit after dowloading your whole sites for free. Totally wrong and fucked up.
