All the other content floating around which probably represents 95%+ of the content populating the tube sites will remain available illegally for free. The tubes will say look if you want your content removed we're willing to help, just pay the FSC. Meanwhile all the big studios, the only ones with the capital to file lawsuits will be standing there right behind their new best friends in support.

You're right Allison, the original press release detailing a settlement was misleading as this is much worse.
