maxpower, I think they are talking about banning "affiliates" from submitting, and only allowing program owners to submit.
Program owners need to realize that these sites aren't helping. Video clip content shouldn't run 1 or 2 minutes without interruption, that is more than enough for a dedicated wanker to get off, not just get up. You want surfers excited, not satisfied.
I understand where the tube site owners are coming from - they are looking at the sheer volume of traffic, the daily click counts (they all talk proudly about that) but what they won't tell you is the percentage of people who actually click on the link off to the paysite in question (it's a really small number) nor will they disclose how many click on the other stuff on the page (a higher number, but they won't discuss it because it's their income).
Once again, tube sites are like dating sites, they aren't in the business of selling porn, because they are burning through the porn too quickly. Why do you think they have so many cam and dating banners? Because it is the only think left that they can sell. They don't even try to make the porn banners on the pages relevant, the Peter North videos had a bunch of gay banners on the page, the teen videos had a bunch of shemale banners, etc. They are trying have to get people to go to dating and cam sites.
Tube sites once again don't have any skin in the game. They have nothing to lose, everything to gain. They have no concern over rights and over exposure and burning the porn sites, because they really aren't in the business of selling porn. Once you grock that, the rest is easy.
