Babeshows - General Chat & Discussion

Copyright holders are of course fully within their rights to request removal of content - they do after all own such content. And it is for us as responsibile citizens to not post it in the first place (so long as it's been fully understood what we can and can't post, and there's no ambiguity around things like posting extracts of their shows as a "catch-up" service for those that missed it when shown live).

The method by which they deal with it is by far the most telling. It would seem they don't see this forum as a positive influence on the revenue stream, which I fear is a mistake and one they may live to regret.

This forum accounts for a sizable percentage of viewers and callers, and pissing off too many here may mean the number of calls and subscribers to their web services will diminish. That will impact their bottom line.

Clearly a lot of people call the channel and have no idea that this forum exists, so it's not going to be "awful" for them in any way. But I think to assume zero impact is naive.
