It has nothing to do with feeling "uncomfortable" being in court discussing porn. It has to do with diminishing returns.
Usually, I would imagine, it's just not worth the effort.
Especially if you haven't registered your film for copyright, which most porn producers don't take the time and $ to do. This limits what you can recover in court only to your actual damages, no punitive awards.



1. Content can be copyrighted en masse. A web producer could copyright his/her website and its contents without having to pay for each new production. The Associated Press does not copyright each story it puts out.

2. From what I have read, reporting illegal content to file sharing websites is fairly easy, and doesn't take a $20M retainer from Jacoby & Meyers. There are evidently a few webwhores who are very assiduous at this and get their content taken down very quickly.

As for the "M' vs. "K" debate, I've worked for three of the largest banks in the U.S., and they all still use "M" as their notation of one thousand. So just shut it.
