Lee,

It sounds more like you have an idea you've decided on doing and are looking to justify it, rather than actually listening to what people are saying.

If you (or someone else) goes forward with this plan, and it's successful, you'll make a bunch of money providing access to content stolen from everyone else on this board who runs a site, produces content, or otherwise makes money from legitimately licensing content to members.

You can justify it by saying that others are doing it, or there are other ways to get the same info, or whatever, but that argument is weak; most people on this board, including you, were arguing against promoting the questionable eastern european sites that appear to contain CP, yet if we followed the same logic, we could say that someone is going to make those sales off of that (probably illegal) content so it might as well be you.

Likewise, a similar analogy can be drawn to the recent .xxx petition. If passed, it would have eventually forced .xxx down the throats of everyone and enriched or benefitted no one except ICM Registry, who would have owned the .xxx TLD. The industry was opposed to it because it was essentially theft (of valid .com domain names, which would eventually cease to be useful for adult content) that enriched one company.

If you're bound and determined to do it, have at it... but you probably *will* alienate most of the regular contributors to your board, sponsors to your sites, etc.

I echo the comments of the others; I personally wouldn't go anywhere near it.
