Do You Guys Really Care???

OK, I just don't get it, so I will make one attempt to seek clarity:

Hank - I don't disagree with your premise if it comes with the qualifier of "exploitive porn producers", but Krissy's main point here was "please don't screw those of us who are making a living on our own, independent of producers, by stealing or illegally posting our stuff".

Transgendered or GG, porn or music, there is a fundamental difference between the big-business labels and the independent artists - their work covers every aspect of the industry, from production to marketing. They are not "just the talent", they are the engine and the brains behind the product.

And Krissy's post came in direct response to what a lot of us had posted - skip paying for the material and just find it on free sites.

While I don't advocate stealing licensed material, I also do little to stop it (shame on me). But by Krissy making this plea, she's put a more human face on the theft because she is directly affected by this - not just her bottom line, but her bottom (and other things)

So I support her in her request to "not get screwed" through theft of licensed material....why is that so hard to get behind?

Maybe she used phraseology that doesn't quite fit the bill, but it didn't send me (or, it seems anyone else but you) spiraling into a fit of rage.

That's all I've got. I hope I haven't fueled the fire - not my intent.

Cheers.
