We agree on something.
The idea of spending even $10,000 to sue a pirate site is stupid. Because eventually it will need to be repeated over and over and over again. Suing one and winning doesn't stop others filling the gap. That's if the porn company wins.
What would be the outcome of a successful case? That the site no longer hosts a particular companies porn or stops hosting any porn? Unless proof comes out they are breaking the law in some way, then it's just one brand of porn. With so much porn the same the whole thing is pointless.
And what if the whole thing works like a dream and all pirated porn is shut down?
Surfers flood to the free Tube with the most legal content on. Well enough of them to make the whole exercise pointless for the industry.
Only those with something truly unique and individual will get any benefit. And they're on the fringes of the industry, because when something becomes that unique and individual it can lose a lot of it's appeal. Unless the quality of the porn is so high and mainstream it still has wide appeal.
