Re: ManHub.com - Making money on your stolen content?
I’m sorry you feel that way, Michael. And I appreciate your previous support. I am hoping that you are wrong and that some of these sites really can change.
And it will suck if they really are just always going to be bad guys.
To answer your other question, we are helping one of our clients seek damages from manhub as I write this. And if you want to seek damages I’ll help you. Manhub is not a client of ours. How did I betray you? By letting you know that a large number of their content is actually licensed? Is that my fault or my doing? People kept asking me why they don’t show up more in our google reports. So I told you why: most of the content from our clients is legit.
How that has led to all this bullshit about my reputation, feeling betrayed, etc, is beyond me. I have had the back of this industry 100% from the beginning. Because of Porn Guardian, I now get death threats from the Russian mafia (who know my personal details), all my sites are subject to constant ddos attacks, and every pissed off hacker is constantly trying to take control of our platforms. So if anyone should feel betrayed by this whole thing, it should be me. I’m the one (and Peter) putting our necks on the line for this industry and trying to find ways to stop piracy that go beyond the feeble DMCA laws in our country.
I’m sorry Manhub licenses some if their content. I don’t represent them nor do I speak for them. 100% of our clients are content owners. But some of them run tubes, ad networks and other properties. I will continue doing my best on behalf of the industry to bring these other properties in line the best way I can.
And I don’t see that you or anyone else should ever feel betrayed about that.
