I originally wrote this article on Consumption Junction in 2002 or 2003, maybe earlier, now it is some 6 or 7 years later and I will have to say that I nailed this right on the button, even though it was supposed to be just satire. Watch it all come true…revisit this link in a year and this might not see so ridiculous.

As far as the laws or progress go. I am not “anti-progress” – if you own some content and you want to throw it on a tube – GO FOR IT! I think, at some point, porn could be ad free and supported, but we are a long way from that.
However, jacking people’s content so you can advance you financial agenda is wrong. The law is not even written to side with the tube sites. They are getting by on a loophole now.
I don’t think anyone can argue they are sucking the money out of this biz. It is a giant money-tampon blocking the flow of cash in adult right now.
The way things are headed the only people left standing will be Brazzers.
Revisit this article in 6 months and tell me I am not right.
Some morons commented on the MP3thing:
There is a big difference between downloading a bunch of Jusas Priest songs you would have never bought because you can get them for free and making a business out of profiting distributing Judas Priest content that isn’t yours to millions.
Neither one is right.
But, clearly, one is more wrong than the other.
