Adam seeks justice. This is normal and expected. He believes someone is harming him.
The harm is petty property theft. Regardless of what Adam sells the vids for, he isn't paying for any of the costs of distributing the vids being shared, not even bandwidth. Therefor the actual loss is a very small fraction of the sale price of the vids.
It is also fact that almost none of the people downloading free vids will buy one. They either don't have the money or fear identifying themselves while paying for a vid.
By even hinting at using identifying info as a weapon Adam has driven off a large chunk of his potential customers.
Worse yet, he threatens to punish petty theft by branding a former customer a sex offender. A man seeking justice loses his "moral high ground" when he even considers such a lopsided exchange. The support often seen on this site for honest trade will be less effective from now on.
I would really like to hear from Adam himself after this.
