Exclamation Content thieves and the people who support them

Just taking a look at http://www.proving-grounds.net/forum/ one of the first things you notice are ads from the likes of AVNads, Etology, Adult Friend Finder (AFF).

This wouldn't normally be something out of the ordinary. However, proving-grounds.net is a haven for some of the worst content theft I have ever seen in my time in this business. Tube sites have been bad, but when every shred of several program's content is readily available, it crosses a line of theft seldom seen and something really should be done about it.

Here's the reply from their host:

Hello,

We are subject to the Dutch laws. Therefore the DMCA isn't subject to our
policies.
As we don't host the files we can't take further actions as such.

Kind regards,

Personally and professionally I find that reply incredulous. Basically it says "tough shit buddy"... we'll host what we want.

I'm sure there is a lot to discuss here and hopefully resolve.
