Sorry but again me and my mate are laughing. Score are one of the true big guys in the porn business. If you won't stick your neck out who will?

This is such a good example of how this industry works and it's thinking. When Acacia decided we were low hanging fruit who stood up and fought for us all? The big boys or the medium size ones? I seem to remember more rushing to pay the license than rushing to the plate to pay for for lawyers to fight.

Acacia was simple and if a few had the will to fight it could be won. Piracy is a bigger and more expensive issue and frankly this industry does not have the balls to fight and as we can all see some of the biggest guys, AFF, Brazzers, ect. show the truth.

This industry generally does not have the balls to go after Tube sites through the courts and that's the truth. Vivid or Wicked are going after Pornotube and someone is going after YouTube. We might get something on the coat tails of these but not a lot. Even if we did they would move offshore.

So what can be done to fight Tubes?

Produce content that's worth protecting. Most of the content we produce is very poor churned out stuff for a price. If you take down one blond teen getting fucked there are 500 other scenes all the same for the viewer. Make porn scenes that make the view thing "Fuck I want some more of this." and Tubes become advertising. Make scenes that are poor porn and the surfer rubs one out and moves on.

Make paysites so good, so cheap and fit the Tube Sites viewers needs so well that those who would pay, will come back to paying for porn. That would mean not paying affiliates $250 PPS on a full sign up and $45 on a $1 sign up and hell will freeze over before that happens.

And that's about it. The industry does not have the balls to go either route.
