Anyone who sues MG, the case gets settled, always.
@mharris – why should they change their current business model when it’s made them millions?

I get that Brazzers (a MindGeek subsidary, they also own PornHub) sometimes advertises on this site but I will say it anyway: No one should be stealing porn. It seems like MindGeek management would get this one considering they do produce porn and I am sure some of it shows up on non-MindGeek tube sites (I will assume that it is taken down quickly after some asshat posts their content on PornHub and their other associated tube sites). Does MindGeek main director Danny D want to see his work on the tubes (even if he does not own the rights to it)? I doubt it. I know their other main director Holly Randall doesn’t, she has said that many times over the years. Their job security is in people actually buying porn, not stealing it. I think PornHub should change their business model to an AdultTime model — except by renting older content that no longer produces significant sales from studios and similar content from their own library and offering it on a Netflix-like level for $9.95 per month (AdultTime uses some rented content and some new content). Maybe they could have a premium subscription where newer content from their own library is included for $29.95 or $39.95 per month.

Takes a lot of balls to charge a premium fee for content they stole from actual studios.
