What would you say if I stole your content and used it to build a base of traffic and then filtered that traffic to your competitors?

I don't agree with doing that one bit. However it's been done over and over and over since our industry started. Look at blacks on blondes. They built an entire empire on stolen content. I'm not saying it's right. What I'm saying is it happens every single day.
Whether I allow RedTube as an affiliate or not they will remain in business. Why? Because there is always someone willing to pay for the traffic. There is no shortage of low life webmasters with no morals in our industry. Us allowing RedTube as an affiliate or not will make no difference. I've come here and posted about boards and blogs stealing traffic and nobody gives a shit. As long as it doesn't hurt them they don't care. Now all of a sudden Tube sites are changing our industry so people are pissed. There is nothing we can do. Tube sites are here and not going anywhere. All we can do is work towards finding ways to control the content being used.
