Also, one thing... if you really think people owning both ends of the stick, like we do, have any interest in destroying one end of it which will obviously destroy the whole stick in the end, then oh well, what can I say.... there are others out there, that only own tube sites, which you should be much more concerned with.

Regarding your unfair competition... at what point would it be fair in your opinion? If it cost $1? or $5? Or $10? What about Videobox.com, or our own Moviebox.com .... I am sure you will at some point come in and claim that is unfair competition too, since you can join for $19.99 and get more full length movies than any tube on the planet has... in HD too!

Unfair competition is a very hard thing to prove, you are making it out to be easier than it is...

BTW, since you keep wondering, we spend 7 figures on content licenses specifically for the tubes regularly.
teen revenue tried to make the arguement that fair use was unfair competition not only did they lose that point but they actually set the bar a lot higher for anyone trying to make that complaint again.

that the worst part about idiots trying sneak these bad precedents thru the system, when they get slapped down they make it harder for people to win the cases they need to in the future.
