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.
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.
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.
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 ?
