Great, debate. I am happy to debate this.

Of course and I continue to re-asses the consequences. I have spent countless hours modelling the impact and outcome of what we are doing. Every week I plug new data into the models that I have created to develop an in depth understanding of the impact and outcomes of what we are doing.
The over-riding objective that I have and the people involved in our project share is to bring about a climate where commercial copyright infringement becomes entirely unacceptable and not tolerated.

In the past 12 years I've seen that free and more free porn grew up to be the tubes we know today with major players, I have no doubt that the file share sites will grow up to be huge with major players, imho you will not stop this and no one will, they will just get better and better.

What we are doing has absolutely zero relationship to the concept of free porn, however what you are talking about is not free porn, it's piracy. Free means a product, digital or otherwise, given away willingly by it's creator. The content shared on sites like PlanetSuzy is not free, it's shared and given away against the terms on which the owner of the content has set for it's sale, distribution and licensing. In short it's theft.

Hell I have 100's of my own exclusive videos spread around the web in all tube sites and file share sites, thing is I don't care anymore.

You may not care, that is your pejorative however many rights holders do care and do not want their content shared by people who have no right to distribute it.

I am not surprised, it very well explains your hostile attitude to our project.

Please tell me why don't you do anything with xhamster.com xvideos.com pornhub.com? Are they not "Pirates" in your book?

The sites you quote carry infringing content but nowhere near as much as your friend's piracy ring deals in.
Let's look at
xhamaster.com. Since 2011, Google processed 297 take down requests for indexed content on the site, removing some 6,647 urls.
Now lets look at
PlanetSuzy.org. Since 2011, Google processed 5,721 take down requests for indexed content on the site, removing some 51,247 urls.
The extent of the piracy related to xhamster.com in the above example was limited to xhamster.com however the extent of piracy on PanetSuzy.org can be traced to 421 other sites with a combined number of takedowns since 2011 of 1,892,532 urls.
PlanetSuzy.org, since 2011, has been key in the eco system responsible for the copyright infringement of approximately $350 million dollars worth of content. This is based on the average value of each piece of content shared being approximately $19. If you were to translate that into lost revenue for the content owners if even 1/3rd of people consuming the pirate content actually purchased the content rather than obtain it via your friend's website then we have a total loss of approximately $5.7 Billion in lost sales.
So don't try to tell me that xhamster is more of a problem than PlanetSuzy, because PlanetSuzy is responsible for the sharing of an order of magnitude more content than xhamster.com.
Forums and the file locker eco system are devastating for content producers, your friends blatantly involve themselves with the theft of millions of dollars worth of content and make money from doing so. They are criminals.
Now furthering the comparison between xhamster.com and Planetsuzy.org, xhamster complied with 92% of DMCA notices that we have seen since we started collecting data. PlanetSuzy have complied with 0%
Who's the worst pirates, xhamster or PlanetSuzy.com ?
