Very true, but not a tube site owners problem. They don't care if their one sale costs the rest of us 10.

But over and over again in this thread people only point out the problem. Very very few offer any solution. Be it one that will work or not.

This is how I see it.

Tubes will continue to exist, legal or illegal, as long as they make a profit. We can't sue them and unless a law is passed to make them easy targets they are here to stay.

Tube sites are on a tight margin. They generally can't afford to buy content and people who want to load them with custom videos don't generally have a lot of money to spend. Be it Youtube or Youporn strength content.

People with paysites full of content they own choose to sell the site to someone else rather than open a Tube site.

Opening legal tubes will not work. From day one of selling content to this side of porn the only cry that has been consistent is people saying there is too much free porn availabe which costs sales.

In the 2-3 years that Tubes have harmed everyones, excluding a few tube site owners, no oe has come up with a solution. Until we do we will continue to see customers move over and other threads telling us what we already know. Tubes cost us money.
