of course they're bitching

stealing their traffic? how? by directing visitors to something other than a cruddy paysite with 1024 cross sells that also spams the shit out of them when they sign up for a trial and cancel or rebill just one month?

that's like saying yahoo is stealing traffic away from newspapers, or other free email services.

Didn't DVD distributors bitch and moan about the internet stealing their sales?

taking the pirates out will be difficult, and it's impossible
unless you make it really expensive to run their operation
and how would you make someone pay when they have no intention of paying in the first place. Someone just will not pay for porn. Period.

i think we're getting further and further away from the 1 site for $30/month

people want variety
as much as possible
they apparently like hunting for whatever's out there

why would otherwise someone pay a pirate site/forum, sometimes as much as $50, so they can have access to working links to rapidshare and the other services?

Granted there are people out there that would download for the sake of downloading.
