i know of no out of court settlements. VIVID filed a lawsuit against YouPorn.com - they dropped the suit, I don't remember any news article mentioning a settlement, they just dropped the lawsuit when they realized the likelihood of winning was not good. YouPorn was one of the first major porn tube sites, they've cleaned their act up. They work with affiliate programs.

TeenRevenue filed a lawsuit against one of the big tube sites with a legal argument that wasn't based on copyright infringements, crazy lawsuit where they were claiming that the tube site giving away content for free was killing their business. Judge laughed them out of court fast.

Lawsuits take forever, Viacom sued YouTube years ago now and it's just now finally before a court and just the discovery stage is taking months.

I really hope Pink Visual has some smoking gun evidence against PornHub - reading between the lines of the news story I read about their case it didn't sound like they did. Unless they can get solid evidence that Pornhub and its employees/associates were uploading the copyrighted videos themselves then they will just be wasting their money.
We all know how Pornhub operates but telling a judge or jury that isn't enough, they will have to prove it.
