If you think about it, it is in Manwin's interest to make sure no case has a ruling and it's all settled. This way they can continue with their business model. Even if it costs them more to settle, it's worth it. Because as soon as a judge drops the hammer on their ass, they will be like a bleeding surfer in shark infested water.
Best post yet.

Until someone takes this to a court and a judge orders a Tube to open it's program, data base and books up there will be no winning against them. We need to be able to prove they upload content or don't delete after getting a 2257 notice, just "hide" it for a few weeks.

Of course if a plaintiff offered $50,000 for a paid employee with proof they uploaded content to come forward. Then it would be good. Assuming there is proof.

Settling out of court just means the game carries on, no change.
