What exactly do you accomplish by complaining about Tube sites when the results of banning them here would have put them all overseas with more stolen content and less sharing? DVD's sold well when there was no internet and VHS sold well when there was no DVD but none of it matters.

I’m beyond complaining. Now just observing and commenting. The flaw in your argument? DVDs and VHS sold; they weren’t dumped online for free to chase clicks.
The real problem wasn’t overseas pirates — it was immunity at home. Section 230’s 26 words gave platforms cover to profit off stolen content without consequence.
If distributors and search engines had been held accountable early, the mass theft wouldn’t have exploded. But instead, the industry, FSC included, backed the free for all, calling it “adaptation” while gutting its own value.
But the elephant in the room is, that the whole biz has an Achilles heel that could shut us down overnight if they really, really wanted us gone. We all know what that is...Visa.
