Both of which take down content within hours of receiving a DMCA.
Studios are just lazy because sending a DMCA isn't nearly as exciting as hanging out with methed out pornstars and thinking you're a big ol' pimp daddy.
A fuckin' monkey could be trained to send DMCAs yet these 'millionaires' can't be bothered.
No wonder we're in this situation.
Clean your content off the tubes, forums, torrent sites, etc...then make these tube owners come to you for sponsored clips.

That doesn't really represent the problem in its entirety. In theory, it'd be wonderful if your solution worked, but in reality it's only partly true.
Are there lazy studio owners who can't be bothered to police their content? Yes, but even if many of them took the time to mess w/DMCA requests it's still a losing battle.
You argument assumes every tube/torrent/forum honors or complies with a DMCA request. Many do not, and it only takes 1 that doesn't to ruin things. Say I run the one tube that doesn't care. You can notice me all day long, which costs you money and me nothing, and I laugh at you and your silly American DMCA. I also don't have the operating expense the other tubes do because I don't have to monitor and remove material, so I'm therefore likely going to be the biggest tube eventually, with more illegal content than anyone else.
Even if we play out your argument, let's assume you're right. One day miraculously every single studio that has ever made an adult video begins to DMCA the tubes... so it's just a few weeks before they'll all be gone right? The big bad tubes will simply close up shop and quit because... they've been DMCA'd to death??
Again, I agree with your point on the surface, that more involvement from the studios/producers in diligent content "policing" would help the problem. It's just that at this stage in the game, the cancer has spread so far and so deep, treatment is not likely going to help and sadly...there is no cure.
