You're quick to raise "Space shifting" arguments and cite from Sony Corp. of America v. Universal City Studios, Inc when in fact within the scope of the business models at hand Courts have already decided against this. See, A&M Records, Inc. v. Napster, Inc.

This "tubing" practice is operating in either an illegal or at best a "dark corner" grey area. This is why so many of these "tubing" companies are being sued.

If I spend $100 million dollars producing a movie you do not have the right to take that movie and display it for free on some website. Yes, it really is that simple and thats the way the law is meant to be read. DMCA is not designed to be a loophole to get around this. As soon as marketability is applied DMCA is thrown out the window and that is why you see Google flying the "Broadcast yourself" flag with regards to Youtube.

I honestly find it disturbing that there are people like yourself that think otherwise. Seriously.. what is wrong with you?
