App developers are getting hit real hard by the file lockers. People that develop scripts and design work people get ripped off big time. It's not too hard to find repositories of 5-100 GB of adobe project files or 10 GB of iPhone apps for jailbroken phones (or android especially).
Mr. King mingles in adult of course but he has other ventures as well.

Thinking it's just porn being hit by piracy is blinkered. Anything that can be stolen and downloaded online is loosing money to piracy. Film industry has changed it's format to something best seen on a widescreen, heard on a great sound system, 3d and in a definition that so far can't be stolen (or am I wrong again
), yet DVD sales are down.
Arguing they're up, is stupid. People steal, then buy.
Governments and countries can't afford to keep loosing money to piracy. When a pirate earns money, odds are the producer and the country he lives in, looses some. The only way to stem this is via the money flow. The moment Visa and MC, stop processing for piracy, we take a huge step towards the goal. We will get new laws that will make piracy far less profitable and damaging.
