as for twisting the titles for porn titles... too funny for words

When I lived in London, all the shops on Oxford Street, a huge retail area, were playing background music, some even from radio. The Performing Rights Society or whatever it was called then, went down the street issuing warnings to pay up for use of the music. The businesses all paid. Same principle applies.
I think the titles are funny and shouldn't be prosecuted. However, when you run the music under the title, you are so busted.
I have used royalty free music forever. I respect the property of others. I would have loved to use some hot copyright music. I think I could have made more money. It pisses me off when thieves get an advantage by using stolen content.
Personally, I think there is no, never, not an argument for this.
I find it breath taking how people in this business seem to accept theft as normal and even respect the "big playas" who take/took the money and ran.
You make a case for honesty and get accused of whining. Nope. Its not whining, its just doing the right thing.
