Reading this I think someone is not complaining about the real Problem but trying to find some reasons why it's not his fault that his site wasn't running fine. I thinh there are lots of sites which earn good money out there even with some 'bad' paying mebers downloading all the stuff they paid for or some even more bad hackers giving out some passes for the site. It's like in every single bussiness you ran, you will have to manage your problems and not complain about them. Does that webmaster really believe his member base would have increased dramatically if his pictures have not been on p2p. Thats almost the same shit as all the hypothetic loss the music and movie industry claims these days with believing all the people would by there stuff if they were not able to download it any more.
Sure you've got the main point Ari, it's illegal what we are doing in here and it's stealing but I don't really feel sorry about that cause this usually isn't really a big loss for the webmasters (if they aint dumb) and everybody running a site and calulation his bussiness knows whats going on out here so if you think you can't take it leave it. It's the internet and you can make good profit in here but you always have to realize that there are different rules in here even if most govenments try to change that.

Just my 5 cents
