to your points, casshern2, cancer does not start out as a full-blown disease. however, if it's not addressed before the cells start replicating and devouring healthy cells....too late.
on this board, no i haven't shared. because of the reasons cited. though i've been a legit purchaser of DVDs since 2010 and, more recently, HD downloads. also, fortunately, there's a J-video store near me from which i rent JAV titles. i have shared and un-DRM'd many (though not to the extent of the subject of this thread or others like him who were here previously or on other boards) over the past few years. but it's not a race to see who can post the most. in terms of sharing, i've never been in it for the money, only as a hobbyist & enthusiast. in a working community of users, if everyone contributes, even a little; to whatever level they're able, everyone wins. and it gives users a good reason to keep coming back & participating.
i'm not on the admin side of this board so i'll cease offering my POV re: its management, except to finally add that, by not addressing the issue early on, A-O let itself be put behind the 8-ball in terms of its JAV DLs section. with only one source, once he gets busted, or once the manufacturers close the loopholes his crew exploits to steal their property (you can be sure he doesn't spend a yuan), or if they come up with a stronger DRM scheme, or when the Trans-Pacific Partnership gives participating nations the means to deal a fatal blow to his piracy, and there's nothing for dioguitar's sycophants to scurry after and repost, then WHO are your customers? or are you okay w/being the home page for "shitty SD rips" in the meantime? if so, i guess all i can say is "enjoy the ride."
and have a fifth on the fourth.
