i guess that all depends on what "winning" is.
For example if i hold a copyright to a song i created and someone uploads it to youtube and a billion people watch it. all they have to do is remove it to be compliant. that doesnt help me the copyright owner recoup the losses of a billion people having downloaded my copyright protected song
Could you sue for damages ? yes
Would you get them ? dunno but i havent seen it happen yet but i do see alot of copyright content.

The only reason I can think of why those media companies don't twitch a finger is because they don't care. They must have noticed their content is being spread on the video sites. So it's probably the old porn mentality of just producing more and more.  |
i think we are still in a period of glut where the theft is still not as fast as the production, they are slowly devaluing there work by not protecting their copyright, by the time it catches up it will be too late or maybe they are hoping the copyright laws will catch up before the content is worthless.
Maybe we will start seeing alot more "product placement" in porn
