    Anyone wonder how come porn companies don't sue or demand why other websites for taken their material? It is legal material? The morality situation from Hustler was taken care of.

    The leading porn tube site owner does just this, over 4.5m times last year. Conditions ripe for a monopoly grot vendor.

    When you say companies are you talking about websites like Pornhub, xHamster, etc.

    or

    Production companies like Brazzers, Dog Fart, etc...

    Interesting read.

    How come, as far as I'm aware, not happening in other motion picture industry, music or sports?

    An industry well worth destroying. Few things more cringey than inadequate men boasting about watching porn and pulling themselves off.

    An industry built upon exploiting vulnerable young women using false promises, threats, coercion, and drugs. The viewers are also victims in a way as they then have difficulties forming healthy relationships, unrealistic expectations of what bodies look like, and what partners are expected to do as part of a sex life. It’s why there are so many angry single men complaining about feminists.

    It's uncanny how similar your opinions are to Emmet's.

    No, I’m not that soldier.

    A lot of lads like to boast about their addiction to hardcore porn and trying to pull the skeleton out of themselves via their groin. Porn that is becoming increasingly misogynistic, extreme, and violent.

    Then you see the same pilgrims complaining about feminism, gender quotas, social media influencers etc.

    The two are inextricably linked. It’s an unpleasant reality to have to deal with, but addicts are always in denial until they accept they have a problem.

    Pornhub only host other people's videos so what goes on on other sites is of no consequence to them as Pornhub doesn't own any of that material.

    If the copyright holder makes a copyright claim against a video being hosted on Pornhub, Pornhub just remove it.

    Places like pornhub are infested with minor abuse videos, revenge porn and trafficking videos, and people depicted in them spend years trying to get their rape videos removed. Pornhub et al will hopefully be so screwed eventually by damages payouts that copyright issues will seems like small beans to them. If there was anything remotely ethical, moderated or straight up about that site or its competitors, it could be defended, but there is not.

    Look at this crap - this is what happens to some people. This teenager found her father's search history. How completely messed up would you be as a teenager after seeing this?

    It's hilarious that posters who don't join in on rampant sl*t and k*nk shaming are scorned for "not wanting to start a conversation," and accused of being the same person. I see it in every thread, sometimes I'm lumped in with them. It's getting old, guys, find another windmill.

    I think it's a damning indictment of our society that so many womxn have resorted to such desperate measures as selling nude photos and videos of themselves when it is still considered to be such a taboo to do so, which they themselves would be well aware of.

    Similar to people who work for Uber Eats, or are employed under zero hour contracts, I don't personally judge womxn who start Onlyfans profiles. But I do question that this idea of being in a state of employment limbo without any of the protections guaranteed under proper full time contracts and their associated benefits.

    Onlyfans in particular masks this by claiming the franchising of people's eroticism is "empowering" and "liberating" when in reality the opposite is true: they are signing away their bodies to the Onlyfans Pimpcorp and getting a pittance in return.

    Sex work is the oldest profession and yet sex workers are mocked and shamed for it by corpulent commentators who gorge themselves on the feed the sex workers dish out. Hypocrites to a man (and it's always men).

    No, it's the new term used by feminists, male feminists in particular.

    Apparently, the "man" at the end is an insult to women.

    They tried. But because users were uploading it as fast as it could be taken down they went into deals with the site. They also hired people who used to work for RIAAA, the guys that sued napster. But it was too late.

    Within a couple of years of pornhub and other porn streaming sites appearing they were getting something like 80% of the traffic and revenue. So porn companies were faced with either going out of business or changing their business model to pivot and use them.

    Not sure why having 'man' at the end of 'woman' should be problematic. After all, God took a rib from a man and made woman, it's the least women could do to acknowledge everything men have done for them.
