Nope we do not advertise on redtube. Sent them a DMCA.
Please do not be so quick to jump to conclusions. I looked at redtube for a few seconds and found
http://www.redtube.com/8002 payserve there too. However that doesn't mean there is some conspiracy between payserve and redtube.
We offer tube clips so its no surprise that people are using them. I don't want webmasters who are stealing videos to use our videos any more than anyone else. However I would think webmasters understand its not easy to keep content from being stolen.
Just last week someone showed us realgf.com stealing our content. A DMCA to their host and to them went unreplied. In fact they added htaccess so it appeared the images were down but when you went to the gallery they were still up. A DMCA to their biller ccbill did nothing. Took a week for them to respond and tell me they would not accept my DMCA notice. They require a special one. By that time I had a friend who knows someone who knows someone get them to take it down.
Xtube got all pissy with us when we asked them to take our content down. Skinvideo refused our dmca because it had a search url and not their dynamic url which kept changing so they could keep content up. So we had to buy a membership at skintube to remove our content. Another one of the tube sites does not respond to our dmca's. In most cases we have been lucky but its not so easy. And if you listen to the latest Xbiz videos you will see that in an infringment case you are going to lose money and expect to spend about 200k per case.
Besides sending out dmca's for stolen content the only real solution is for webmasters to build their own tube sites using legitimate content. I think its great that you offer a solution for people who want tube type sites. But how many sponsors are offering legal tube content for real webmasters? We were one of the first sponsors to offer tube content. The more effort webmasters put into building their own tube traffic the bigger effect it will have indirectly on those stealing content for tube sites.
