That's no secret...

Come on here.. No one is uploading to these sites except the people who are running them.

The purpose of these sites that host the 12 minute movies to to get high Alexa rankings to sell ad space..
One day they'll turn around, if not so already. It takes 2 to tango or content WILL dry up. The rest just copycats the new/old school sucess stories but forget about the laywers, accountants, fiscal advisors, notary and even business a whole in the end.
Many (not all) studios/producers started out the same way in this bizz many years ago
doing stuff that was not proper and some faded out and some even went IPO or got bought by other big companies. Same stuff for 22 years but just packaged differently IMO.
