Yes to a certain extend the internet should be unregulated, we should be able to view any site we want, (I don't believe in "net neutrality" or traffic filtering). However, laws need to be more strict & regulated worldwide, and those who run & support deliberate illegal sites need to face serious consequences. When people are sent to prison it will change the mindset of a lot of companies out there, without as much financial support from advertisers, resources and the threat of real jail time, these huge tube and file sharing sites will fall on their faces fast. No it won't stop copyrighted material from being distributed completely, but even cutting it in half will be a giant step.

Youtube enforces copyright laws though, you don't see content with a complaining copyright owner up for more than a couple days. These other adult tube sites and warez forums exist for the sole purpose of displaying stolen copyrighted content and they don't give a shit. They casually claim they're not responsible for what's hosted/posted on their sites, the advertisers say they are not held accountable for the sites their ads are displayed on and the webhosts say they're not liable . I'm saying fuck all of them, they all need to be held accountable and charged with some sort of "conspiracy to distribute copyrighted material crime".
