It kills people like me the most, I dont make tons of money off my content, I make my own stuff, and when my content ends up on tube sites (which it has many times) i really lose out. I dont have the money to pay for the pricey bulldog security to have a chance at my stuff not being stolen, i dont have a super smart webmaster either dont have a webmaster at that right now.
I dont see why you guys who have HUGE programs and bring in several million a year dont do something about this. Its not like you guys arent effected by it too. I have seen some new stuff from some major programs on tube sites, stuff that is as old as 1 week.
What would it take for people to band together and make a class action lawsuit against Brazzers and other LARGER tube sites? Not like we cant find out who they are and where they are hosting at. Hell even tho I am far form rich I would toss some of my money towards a class suit, if everyone else did the same maybe we could make a difference on our own!!!

As a lawyer who has dedicated his career to assisting clients in the adult industry, I can tell you definitively that *this lawyer* has done plenty for his clients when it comes to piracy. You just have to know a) the law and b) some VERY simple tech issues.
Banding together is a VERY good idea. What you really ought to do is have a "ripoff site of the week" that everyone checks for their content, and bombs the site's web host with DMCA notices on it. Then, everyone post the DMCA notices so that one of the bigger companies can use all of them as evidence against the web host for failing to cut off a repeat infringer.
The only strategy that will work is attacking the web hosts.
Go to whois.sc and check the registration information. Then click the tab that says "server stats." That will tell you who the web host is. Keep in mind that a well-trafficked tube site makes a web host about $10,000 (at least) per month in hosting fees (and many are upwards of $50,000 or more). So, you need to make it not worth their while to keep hosting the theft site. One person can't do that on their own.
