Before you get burned in effigy I think we, as an industry, should come up with a term to differentiate legal tube sites using licensed content from tube sites using stolen content.
The first is just an evolution of MGP, with short clips offered for free in order to upsell the site the clip is from.
The second is using stolen full length videos to attract surfers so they can display cam and dating ads.
The first kind is perfectly ok and doesn't hurt our business in the short or long term.
The second kind wouldn't be able to survive if it had to pay to license the content it's giving away, and is a fatally flawed business model IMO.
The long term effects are unknown....but I can't imagine they're good for either party. If the people producing content are no longer able to make a profit by selling it (and it's hard to sell when someone is giving it all away for free), then they'll stop producing it.
If they stop producing it, then the illegal tube site owners no longer have a free product to attract all of that traffic with.
So I guess the in the end it might be the "nuclear option" where the tubes put content producers out of business, and in turn put themselves out of business....and then when demand for paid for porn picks up, we start all over again.
