Robbie, it's great that you are so proud and think so highly of yourself and think so little of everyone else that you feel you are just better than anyone.
I think letting studios upload the content is an important part of the way a tube site works, and I do not honestly care if you think nobody has a reason to upload a competitors video. This has nothing to do with possibilities, simply with covering your ass, and anything is possible.
Who knows, maybe after testing YouPorn long enough in-house we will come to the conclusion that turning off user uploaded content is a good way to go, but we are simply not there yet. The problem with DMCA is that you lose out on the safe harbor if you control too much. So, IF another studio wanted to hurt us, it would be much easier by uploading someone else's content and getting us sued if we somehow screen user upload accounts to somehow verify they are "industry players".
That is a simple business concern and risk which I need to weigh in when I look at DMCA regulations. Losing the safe harbor is not a good idea.
I understand that many people hate what we do, I also know many many others do not. I also know that we offer technical means to make sure your content never even gets up on our tubes. If you feel there is some other technical feature we should be adding which we do not have currently, feel free to suggest it. But do not suggest that losing safe harbor under DMCA is a good and wise business decision since it simply is not.
