List of things that would destroy our industry and when did they happen?

Re-reading that now, I kinda wish it had passed. We wouldn't have the tube mess we have today...

There are no viruses on it, I just haven't had the time to go through the webmaster tools and get that warning removed

I started in 2000 and did better every single year until 2009 and have done worse every year since then also. Most can figure that one out no problem

Tube Sites are the biggest culprit followed by Cyber Lockers

Looking back on it that may well have been case. My worry was that there are a ton of sites that are not in the US that may not have had to follow the law, but still that would have cut the amount of free porn down drastically.

As for the tube sites
All it will take is
1) sitting down for a few hours with an old school pornographer that can spot an under age kiddie as fast as winking an eye and copying down the URLs of questionable content on the tube site.

2) Physically walking into a southern baptist church to show the congregation what is going on and passing around a petition.

3) Personally give a copy of that petition to a local media outlet and a local politician

4) Finally walk into a law enforcement office, give them a copy of the petition and ask them if they can investigate the web site's documentation on the content.

All tube sites that allow user generated content have under age adolescents uploading content of themselves. Is they claim otherwise they are liars. Because afterall if they are incapable of policing copyright infringement they are equally incapable of policing kiddie porn on their sites. (They can not have it both ways)

I would say the "fiscal cliff"

I remember when 10% CB rate was going to crush the whole industry LOL

that and CAM SPAM

2008 - Global financial crisis

Cant believe no one mentioned this one. I started to see downfall after the big bank in USA collapsed (don't remember the name) and everyone was talking about crisis.

i second that too

good one. I like that . .never heard it lol

Yes or a campaign similar to the one run against cyberlockers.
problem is who is going to pay for it?
Not tube sites for sure

There seems to be a mandate on tubes as being the #1 problem.

I would have to agree.

A campaign similar to the one run against cyberlockers would not work because they do not get their money from a single payment processing source. You would be chasing thousands of advertisers, etc. Plus as you said it would cost money to do.

What I detailed does not cost money but it does require someone with an gentle and nice personality willing to be a devote the time and energy into this.

Restu assured that every single tube site has under age porn on it... Every single tube site lacks the required by law documentation.

The laws are currently on the books to deal with porn tube sites and I am not refering to copyright laws. All you need to do is have them enforced. To do that all you need to do is create a public outcry against them. Because without the public to push the issue the police will not care because it is an out of sight crime with no property damage and no obvious vicitims.

Get a church group... or get the media.. or get a politician interested in the problem with porn tubes and all they will all be gone inside of 6 months.

Tube sites do not affect me at all. But if they did, I would be doing whatever I needed to do to stop them. It is your industry.. What you decide to do is your decision not mine.
