And there is the key to the solution.

So far we've had 2 legal solutions that will never get off the ground. No one with the money will take on the tubes in court time after time so the rest of us benefit and we won't help. The Germans have a law about selling to under age people and it does not work. Waiting for congress to block sites is not going to work either.

As long as someone can make a buck running a Tube site they will exist and legal or not they will take customers. So the solution is to make them unprofitable. I'm about to go into the most horrendous chapter of my life and I'm doing something. Who here is prepared to do the same and see if it works better than the to ideas we've had so far?

Try to take the profits out of Tubes, send traffic to sites trying to do it and see if it works. One site doing it will not work, 1,000 will.

1 affiliate supporting the move will not do it, 10,000 supporting it will.

We need to get the 1 person in 500 who goes to a Tube site to think we have a better deal for him. Move that guy and the BW bill will kill Tubes. 499 free loaders are an expense not an asset.
