That's because we try our very hardest not to be assholes. There are some conventions and standards that are certainly being debated on a global scale regarding Copyright and how to handle it. I have never advocated the "tube" style of doing things. However, it does appear to be the winning format. You can't just keep releasing Beta Porn in a VHS/DVD/Blu-Ray world.
Ask around, we've always been easy to work with, we didn't start the "tube" game. In fact, we lost an absurd amount of market share to RedTube, YouPorn, and PornHub when we made the decision to close Gexo.com in 2008 when it was very competitive with those. That decision has cost our company millions, but we were hoping that large producers would level the playing field.
This did not happen. We are providing surfers with the tools they expect to have to facilitate browsing and downloading according to the legal standards provided by the courts. Everything was removed in 24 hours like it should be.
