guess what.. it wont get posted..
so, although i am not an attorney nor do i play one on tv, if the tubes are looking at videos for watermarks then i think you ca deduce that they can look for stolen content..
i think that there is a valid argument that the tubes, by not allowing non advertisers to upload legal content are facilitating illegal content...

I think that too. And I've said it and so have other armchair lawyers. But we never see the real attorneys on here go along with that. And since this kind of thing has ass-raped companies that USED to have some pretty deep pockets....I'm guessing that their attorneys didn't think that was viable either and could result in a "legal backfire"
I don't know man. When I first started seeing my shit stolen in late 2007 I went ballistic. I went out and retained a law firm and told them what I wanted to do about it. I wanted to sue the people stealing my shit right down to the ground.
After I blew all the retainer money I had paid the attorneys, I realized that the law was never gonna help me in time. So that's why I took matters into my own hands by protecting my content.
Just say that theoretically most paysites had done what I did.
That would mean that the only porn on pornhub would be ripped DVD's and 2 year old content.
All the newest porn scenes from the hottest paysites would still have to be seen by obtaining a membership.
Well, that dream can still become true.
IF the majority did it right now...within a year, pornhub would be nothing but DVD rips and year old content. If there is one thing for sure on the internet....content that is a year old is like 100 years old in doggy years.
If you noticed in the gideongallery debates. the ONE thing he feared was us protecting our content. He knew that the law was never going to side with pornographers. But he also knew what would happen if we shut off the supply.
Pornhub didn't become huge because the guys at Brazzers are geniuses in traffic. It became huge by having full scenes and sometimes full members areas instantly streaming for everybody for free. And they have the NEWEST scenes as xxxjay is pointing out.
Take away the content? Pornhub drops off the map.
