>“Piracy sucks,” says the CEO and creative lead behind Blacked, Tushy, and Vixen. “It takes money directly out of my pocket, but I continue to make money in porn because I’m doing things differently from the rest of the industry.”
>“Adult performers, what YOU do is ART,” he tweeted earlier this year.
>Together, Lansky’s sites get 20 million monthly uniques, and with users paying up to $30 a month to access his content, he claims his revenues are “superior to 95 percent of the adult industry.”
>He estimates that he sends out 50,000 DMCA takedown notices every month to the so-called “tube sites” that host free smut across the internet.
>“You gotta ask yourself,” he says, “what is the motivation of hundreds of people around the world to spend their internet time uploading adult content? Why would a normal human being with an internet connection and an average income spend hours and hours behind their own computer doing this? … If it’s their content, their mixtape, their edit, then there are thriving communities of artists uploading self-produced work out there. But other than that, [tube sites are] a piracy machine fueled by online advertising.”
>Part of the problem, he says, is that the relevant laws are simply out of date. “The laws that supposedly exist to help me protect my intellectual property were created during the days of dial-up,” he says. “They don’t work for today’s modern internet.”
>And given porn’s bad reputation, there’s not a lot of external interest in protecting his business, though he argues his approach is as safe and respectable as the adult world gets. “I produce content that’s sitting behind a pay site on a platform that requires a credit card. Customers have to be at least 18,” he says. “Tube sites follow none of these regulations and make lots of money using my work.”
Why won't the filthy goyim pay for their brainwashing?? THEY ARE STEALING MY ART!
