Yes with current prices of content being what they are its easy to get lots of stale content and tube it. Agree again 100%




Yes they got popular by "sharing" other peoples stolen content. Did not cost them much. BUT after SOPA/ACTA whatever comes, then comes my point....



My point: After SOPA who will want to give you his new kick ass content for pennies? Keep in mind that all pirate sites just got an "Easy OFF" switch. Keep in mind the basic laws of economy when something becomes scarce the price rises. Sure theres tons of cheap stale shit to be had. But if you think that after SOPA somebody will be willing to sell you his kick ass new 3D HD content for pennies, well here I do not agree. Sure you may get a 2-3 min clip for your legal tube but this is basically just a free ad for his site and 2-3 min clips do not pay your rent...

The rise in price will not happen over night but the quality of legal tubes is certain to decline. Content producers will have a better angle in selling their content again. BIg tubes will be on glass legs so to speak, basic laws of economy apply to everything and when you take the "safe and easy file sharing" out of the game, the price must go up....
