No, because an illegit tube site doesn't base it's business model on making sales to a site. They base it entirely on the fact that they can get a LOT of traffic and create a sense of "community" amongst their "members" who in turn keep joining paysites, downloading the entire members area, then canceling the paysite, and uploading the content to the illegit tube site. Which then attracts even more people who can now see an entire members area for free.

Then using those traffic numbers, the tube sites sell pre-paid advertising spots to dating sites. Which is pretty much the only game in town for tube traffic other than selling pop-ups and blind link traffic to brokers to re-sell.

So the whole business model is entirely based on traffic without a real sale coming into the equation at all.
