It also sends a warning to people. Upload content you don't own and you might get a knock on your door from a man with a summons.

If Wicked sue Redtube should Redtube do the same?

Doing this after the judge told them to go buy some hard drives might just piss off the judge.

There is another side to this that no one has seen yet. Look on the big porn Tube sites and see the people uploading, some are clearly the owners uploading clips for advertising, some are from people doing a couple and a lot are from people who seem to have nothing better to do than upload hour after hour. Maybe an auto uploader or maybe the owner of the site ripping a members area and using it as uploaded.

To claim it was an independent surfer the owner of the Tube site has to able and ready to prove it was a surfer. Then the copyright holder can sue the uploader. I'm cynical and don't see members up loading hours after hours of porn.
