I think we can all agree that a "legal" site like bigtube (I am assuming all their videos are licensed) can give away as many 25+ minute clips as they want. If they think they can sell the HD versions while giving away the low-res videos for free... let them do that.
But this business practice has an adverse effect on everybody's business.
Both the LEGAL and ILLEGAL tube sites are hurting this business.

Well those are legal but dumb tubes, and I do not think they're doing much harm because generic filler content they license in bunches is not going to hurt sales at those sites that have more or less unique stuff produced in house.
But still those legal tube sites that use sponsor content and promote paysites are much better or course, and they're more profitable because they have paysite sales in addition to their income from ad spots.
