- They could use 2 - 3 minute clips to promote Twistys.
- Banners and advertising in and around the clip must be for Twistys and Twistys only.
- We do NOT accept traffic from any links that have stolen content on them.
Now, we've kept a close eye on RedTube and so far they've been an ideal affiliate. They are doing what we ask and they have been very pleasant to deal with. They are following the rules that apply to all our affiliates.
Tube sites are notorious for content theft. Ok, point made............
I believe a similar thing is happening in our industry. While I am 100% against tube sites using illegal/stolen content, you guys have to realize tube sites are a part of our industry right now (and the near future) whether you like it or not. They are here and happening now and surfers are flocking to them. With dying options for traffic, what choices do we really have for promotion? So while the situation is not perfect, we CAN group together and set some rules for these sites to follow. Until everything is policed and enforced by a higher order, adaptation is what we have to embrace in order to survive.

What a crock of shit. Honestly. You are doing business with someone who has tons of stolen content on their site. You try to justify this by saying your content will not be on any *pages* with stolen content
. Christ, that is worse then the companies who start a subsidiary company who fucks people and the parent company says, " its not us".
You really bent over backwards to jusitfy to yourself what you are doing... you wont allow redtube to display stolen content on any of the pages that your content is on. Wow man, you really putting your foot down for the industry! (sarcasm) You are doing business with the same people who are killing your sector of the industry.
While I agree with your comments on how the industry is changing, there is a HUGE difference between LEGAL Tubes and Illegal Tube sites. You could have just done business with legal tube sites and you would have been fine and " adapted" . But, no. The fact that they are a top 100 site is more imporatant to you (greed) then your principles. They are known content theives. There are so many legit tubes you could have done business with but you choose one of the thieves to do business with and then you try to justify it so you can make yourself feel better about your decission. What ever makes you sleep at night, but by doing business with RedTube, as long as they still allow stolen content on their site, that now makes you no different than AFF, no different than Brazzers or anyone else who supports these stealing fucks.
