The Tube sites and the Rapidshares are damaging the entire business. And legal fights against them are definitely not simple copyright infringement cases, where if somebody is caught red handed with your content and you document it they have no defense - and I don't know if this new group is going to take on that fight.
Then prove that they are checking or get someone to keep hitting them with DMCA notices, employ him to make them spend money. Tubes run on a thin line of profit, tip the balance. I'm working on a few ideas of my own to tip the balance.
