Seanchai,
I read your post, and while I can understand and appreciate your basic statement, I do think you are possibly being a little unrealistic and you definitely sound a little snarkey and rude to other members of this forum who like you, are just trying to voice their opinion and perhaps engage in some dialog with you on this subject.
Are you saying that by law no one should be to allowed to repost any material from any of your sites?

I have been a paying member of some of your sites, and I have never posted any full set (or even much content-there are so many other sites out there). Most of us just post our favorite pics from each set or girl.
But I am confused a little. I see dozens of promo free sets on all kinds of freebie sites(each with up to 10 or more pics) that change daily, and I assume that those are free for anyone to download. Are those free pages done without your permission? If not, do you expect people to just download the same 3 pics only from a free page of 10 or more pics? Thats absurd. Why even have teaser or free pages at all? (because, I suspect, that its good for your business)

Like our posts, the preview pages aren't the full sets, just teasers. If you want the really good pics, you need to join, (as many do). In a forum like this, eventually people can post enough pics from various sources, that maybe eventually there is almost a complete set, but this is pretty rare and happens with only the most popular girls.
I agree people should not post entire sets from the actual pay sites, but almost everyone here just posts freebies, or pics they have had for years.

I don't see any possible way you could limit any given set to 3 pics unless thats all you ever released on the free sites, and encoded any on the pay site so they could not be reposted. (you would also have to oversee what/who/how many pics get posted here and on every other forum)
("Porn Czar"?) or as you said, shut down every site that offends you.

Also, isn't it similar to TV/movie copyright? That is, I can tape anything I want on TV, radio, etc.for my own use, but I cannot re-sell it or rebroadcast it for profit. (that is , its OK for private use)
Isn't that similar to what we are doing? We are just posting pictures that we have for others enjoyment, and the site is free. Its also not exactly a major site. It took me years, and I just happened to stumble on this forum.
(so in the major scheme of things, is this site really taking away business from your sites, or is it all forums like this in their totallity?)
And are you posting this message on their forums as well?

(I do understand your "Why buy the cow, when you can get the milk for free" argument)...but
another phrase which comes to mind is "Your trying to close the barn door after the cow has escaped".

I would hate to see it happen, but it almost sounds like you would have to make it to where no pic can be downloaded unless you bought it. No freebies, only pages where you can see the pic, but could only download it/them if you became a member. (isn't that how some of the early sites worked?...or maybe didn't work..)

Perhaps you could try going after the main offenders who are posting complete sets or videos. Most of us here are respectful of the rules and appreciate what business people like yourself are trying to do. I support your sites, your intellectual rights, and your right to voice your concerns.
I hope you can appreciate what we are doing (and not doing) here as well.
