Hey Mike,
I have been reading you posts on Jules Jordan Video and Brazzers with great interest and after seeing the site you referenced I am sure that Brazzers does own pornhub, tube8, keezmovies and others. What a shame Jules would stoop so low.
As you know I am a byer for a video store and we stock a fair amount of JJV product and it does pretty well for us but now I have a bit of a dilemma because I just can't support anyone that puts money in the pocket of these theives so I have decided to no longer stock any of Jules Jordan Video Product. I'm sure he won't feel the difference but it will make me feel better because we are losing a lot of revenue to the tube sites.
Thanks for fighting the good fight man and you really should disconnect those links so they dont show up on search engine results, I know you get a lot of traffic and I understand you wanting to make a point but it probably does more harm than not at this point.
(yer right man, and did ya notice how many of those tube sites are owned by Brazzers, what a little douchebag Jules has turned out to be.....)

JT:
I hate to say it, but that will backfire on you and make it WORSE: if they want product from ANYONE in particular - but can't find it at your store - they WILL go to tube sites to get it. Plain and simple.
What you propose to do by not selling product at your store will BUILD tube site sales...not help destroy them.
Plus, since, as you say, he "won’t feel the difference..." well, that works both ways - so stock the store STRONG to bring interest to your store rather than the tubes.
You have to do what you can to fight the fight at your level - in this case a store level. Sure, you may feel a bit better by not buying from anyone in particular, BUT what is worse: that happening (and subsequently increasing tube sales by not selling it yourself) - or selling it yourself and making a few bucks AND reducing the tube site sales (yes, the producer will make a little from this but he makes it the other way as well regardless)? Either way is lose-lose regarding tubes overall, but if you sell as you SHOULD be doing AT YOUR STORE then at least you are making a bit of $$ - and knowing you are at least slightly reducing tube sales.
