Giving a free content to intentionally harm competitors might actually have the opposite effect. Who wants to marketing a producer or sponsors who endorse or give away all free elsewhere anyway? Redtube + sponsors might be big, but if you sum up all, they do not run the show. What we need, is a list of which producers, sponsors, trades etc. to avoid - and which not to avoid; lets start with teenrevenue which deserves the marketing  |
but they have gotten the legal precedent that establishes creating a system that allows USERS to upload videos that give away your content for free is not an "unfair business practice"
i will give you an example
it means that now if you fully fulfil your customer fair use rights to use torrents as a backup by setting up a private tracker. you would now have to prove that this precedent doesn't apply when attempting to sue for the damages
you just tripled (if not more) the cost of using this legal procedure.
