Every fucking US government after Bill Clinton simply waited for an opprtunity to erase porn from the surface of this planet and that's a fact. I couldn't believe hearing that Rapidshare won their first US lawsuit in 2009 or 10. Don't you think that tubes and torrents ruining our industry are simply a tool in the hands of people who want to get rid of something that in their small fucking minds is a pain in the ass? File sharing websites are nothing else but fencing that operates in the light of law so what would happen if you opened a store with stolen goods for example??? This is exactly the same situation and all those asswipes in capitol perfectly realise that torrent activity is killing all sectors of intellectual property like movies or music (including porn). If they only wanted they would ban all tubes and file sharing sites in the blink of an eye long time ago but for some reason they just don't give a shit. I think that every person and company that used to make profit out of intellectual property should create a coalition in America and start pushing capitol douchebags using every possible means to fight for their (and our) rights.
and BTW - perhaps you've heard about Strategic Plan to "combat" intellectual property theft formed by Obama administration in June 2010 (http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2010/...property-theft). Their activity looked like "chasing" Osama Bin Laden for 2 weeks in Afghanistan after 9/11. All they did was seizing 2 websites and this clearly shows that US government is as usual pretending to fight against something. It's simply unbelievable and it pisses me off every single day. If I lived in USA I would start throwing Molotov coctails at the white house just to attract media attention because that's where everything starts and ends.
Thanks for your attention.
