This filtered out the casual users, who then went to other file sharing sites. Second way, is to sue them into oblivion. And we all know the end result is, if you put enough money into the suit. I believe in the first is a better idea. It will eventually ruin the reliability of the content to the end user. Since most of the content on these tube sites aren’t handpicked, and need their search engine to display the desired content. Fill it with junk that matches the search terms for your content or put in content that you normally would give away in tours, with the right search terms. Thus, knocking down the position of the pirated versions in the search results. It’s a lot of work but, it’s cheaper than a lawyer. Believe me I speak from experience about the costs of a good lawyer.
