The people who run the shady sites and their brazen uploaders have shown to not be phased by the threat of a lawsuit.

The true solution will be one that uses technology to greatly hinder the uploads in the first place, one that makes tube sites legit or one that ignores the actions of shady tube sites while still making online adult profitable. I don't know what the answer is, but it will fall under one of those three.

To say that they can be strongarmed out of businss on our terms is something out of dreamland.
The goldman lawsuit may change things big time. Its with BT's but they are suing the advertisers. If that case wins, the game will change radically.
Show me a legal tube site thats big. I think without stolen content that can be given away for free their model doesnt work.
