Xvideos does not get the same level of attention and criticism that the Manwin tube sites do. It seems like xvideos puts up about 20 pages of tube links up each day. Years ago, I sent Wicked Pictures Public Relations person a list of tube links of Wicked Pictures movies. She showed thanks by sending me free DVDs. I was told that many tube links, on my list, were authorized by Wicked Pictures. She did not say which ones but I believe the under 6 minutes videos on xvideos were what she was referring to. I was told that I found videos that Wicked Pictures did not know about.
I had thought that Wicked Pictures was a rare exception so it surprised me when I found out that many other companies have done the same thing. I think that allowing videos, to be on these sites, legitimizes the tube sites. On another forum in 2005, Aiden (of Evil Angel) was criticizing avfantasy.com for having a huge number of screenshots for each movie. Aiden worried that people would masturbate to the screenshots rather then buy porn movies. There are companies that will allow up to 10 minutes of a scene to be shown. Entire sex scenes frequently fell under 10 minutes in the '70s and '80s! Things are so much worse then when Aiden was complaining.
In the comic book industry, a number of big companies got the htmlcomics website closed down. Unlike the porn industry, they did not advertize on it. The htmlcomics owner made himself vulnerable by refusing to taking things down. His defense was that that he said his website was a library. On comic book forums, there were a signicant number of people defending his website. This reminded me of people defending piracy on porn forums.
