No, I don't. And I think it's weak to cry about 'derailing' threads because you don't like the question, especially when the question is related. My last post here was days ago. I wasn't going to post again until you chose to resurrect the subject of "derailing", days later.

As I said, that there are no tubes in the mainstream world of the same kind as those in adult suggests it is possible to kill off tubes, and the only reason they proliferate in adult is because nobody seriously tries to stop them and/or people actively support them.

With file lockers it seems to be a neverending battle, and aside from the fact that tubes are far more popular than file lockers, I think tubes are more likely to be used by (less tech savvy, or less prepared to jump through hoops) people who might otherwise pay for (the convenience of easily accessible) porn.

I'm not taking anything away from the attacks on file lockers, in fact I admire that people are actually doing something rather than just complaing about it. I have just always wondered, since 'everyone' talks about tubes being the #1 scourge, why nothing is ever really done to stop them.

I personally don't have a lot of piracy issues with tubes anymore unless it's older DVD rips. Tubes are VERY manageable. Some of our new sites have gone over two years without a single video showing up on a tube. I call that success. While they get the most eyes, I don't believe they are the biggest source of stolen content. That doesn't mean they are not a problem, because they are, but I have reason to believe they will be dealt with when the time comes. But that time is not today and for reasons that may or may not be known to you.
Okay, fair enough.
