It was never an issue.. This case is not based on stolen content.. Sure we are pissed at tubes for this and are having to remove it all the time.. This case is based on Tubes business model and "yes it will not be cheap" But i can tell you Teenrevenue is committed all the way to the end
      Well done and I hope you have found their Achilles Heel.

        If Paolo wins this case it won't cost 40 million to go after the rest. The key as I have always said are the advertisers and the profits from Tubes. If advertisers know they open themselves up to being sued because they advertise on Tubes they will think twice.

        That will be good for other affiliates, without illegal Tubes, there will be more surfers floating around. Then all we need to do is win back their trust. Which will be far harder to do.

          Why would anyone surf anywhere else but a tube for "Bree Olson"?

          30+ minute videos, a ton of them. Porn tubes give away huge amounts of member's area content, but they also devalue porn.

          Porn tubes essentially make member's areas a thing of the past. Why have your content in a member's area and protected to paying members, when you can have all your content publically available and survive off dating and cams?

          That's where tubes lead for 99% of people, with only a few people really caring for higher quality. Most people I know who like porn couldn't give a fuck if it is 320x240 and full of digital noise as long as the content is hot and they can jerk to it, for free.
          The solution to this is so simple it's frightening. Have live girls on the paysite can be Bree Olson if the site is dedicated to her, give the members flexible joins that suit their needs. Give them other content to contrast Bree or the main girl or style in the site. Basically spend less on what happens outside the members area and more on what happens inside the site.

          I already have 1200 videos and adding all the time, live shows and the surfers see it. Will I get more joins if I double the length of join time or halve the price or if I give more to affiliates to send more traffic?

            You have to bear in mind that most of the people involved with this industry are 3 IQ points above retardation. Business strategists they are not.
            That is the short sightedness of this industry, but it's not just Internet porn. I've seen similar stupid things done by DVD porn.

            Business strategists they are not. Any industry that sees less people coming and less joining and still thinks the solution is to send more people, has no clue what a business strategy is.

              Some will never get it that most customers want 1-2 scenes and don't want to fuck around with all the problems ot a Torrent and definitely don't want to be downloading software. Customers not 12 year old kids. ;)

              But if TR is successful the next step can be Torrent sites. Which is why we need to stand behind him.

                            7. I found a .ORG Web site that is commercial in nature. Is this allowed?
                            Yes. .ORG is an unrestricted top-level domain, and anyone can register.

                            8. Why isn't .ORG strictly limited to not-for-profits?
                            .ORG has been an open and unrestricted domain since it was created in the 1980s. It would be difficult, expensive and sometimes unfair to impose new restrictions. For example:

                            It would be difficult to determine what is a not-for-profit and what isn't. Every country has different laws and definitions about what a nonprofit is.
                            Verifying the site and credentials of every applicant around the world could multiply the cost and time for registering a .ORG domain name. Verification would require many staff people who read different languages and would slow down the registration process from minutes to weeks or months. PIR receives just $6 per year for each .ORG domain name, most of which goes to running and improving .ORG's infrastructure and technology.
                            Because .ORG has been unrestricted for so long, it would be unfair to take domain names away from people who registered them under old requirements.

                              not sure I understand how a California state court would have jurisdiction over foreign based businesses. Let's say TR won this case - how do they enforce the decision against a Honk Kong entity whose owners are probably located in another unknown country?

                              most tube sites are run by non-Americans.

                                Isn't China pretty hardcore against porn...maybe TR just outing them to their Communist leaders will result in some "complications" where the owners trip down a set of stairs and onto a firing squad line.
                                Is this gonna get ugly, now? Huh? I hope not. Because I thought what we were here, racial differences notwithstanding, was just a couple of old friends. You know, just both of us Californians.

                                  If this case is successful and it stops Tubes using content they don't own or don't have the rights to, there will be some customers returning. But not as many as we lost.

                                  There's nothing to stop me opening a Tube site with content I own, giving it away for free, buying traffic and living off the profits from the adverts. The companies advertising on illegal Tubes will be looking for legal sites to advertise on.

                                  Same goes for people like Brazzers. Or anyone with a lot of content that's not making money. Like content providers. So as the industry buys less content it's an option for content providers.

                                  Then there are also the Tube sites with 3-6 minute clips, sometimes hosted by the sponsors. These sites will get content so they can sell dating and cam sites. All backed up by sponsors who will look for the easy route, even if it kills the business in the long run.

                                  There is only one way to get customers to buy. That's give them something they want to buy. In adult it's even more important, because porn customers are repeat buyers. Customers who buy repeatedly have a habit of learning

                                  And customers will decide the future of this industry.

                                    It does not matter. The real target are the advertisers and a decision against them can be enforced. They might be sitting down next week and thinking about the merits of advertising with RT and other illegal sites. Not that this will stop the flow of customers over to legal Tubes. And away from buying porn.

                                    If RT don't turn up how will that effect the case for the defendants? Doubt if it will help them. I'm not a lawyer so maybe we can have a comment from a lawyer.

                                              It was dropped/dismissed/settled most likely. There were a bunch of them 'resolved' and covered in the past two issues of the trades.

                                              Almost ALL of these cases end with a lot of sabre rattling, and in the end they fold before going to trial. I think there have been easily a half dozen or more in the past few months according XBIZ. So many in fact, you can't keep up.

                                                $40 Million suit wow. Well, that's what happens when someone steals full length long videos that are like 10+ minutes long and lets users watch them for free I suppose.

                                                  I never started any lawsuits myself. And I was never involved in any lawsuits.

                                                  So I never sued anybody.

                                                              I think the file sharing forums with rapidshare/megaupload/etc links are far more of a threat than tubes or torrents. The growth of sites like pornbb.org are exponential. People can download full site rips in HQ @1.0mb+/sec without needing seeds and no chance of being traced. It's far more dangerous to this industry than slow/unreliable p2p torrents and low quality tube clips.

The growth of sites like pornbb.org are exponential. People can download full site rips in HQ @1.0mb+/sec without needing seeds and no chance of being traced. It's far more dangerous to this industry than slow/unreliable p2p torrents and low quality tube clips.
                                                                    Agreed.

                                                                    People are still WANTING to buy and still WANT to remain members. But the bank declines are on the rise big time. Across ALL processors. Not just CCB.

                                                                      With tube, the AOL user of 1990s can use it and it's easy as 1,2,3. When I talk to my friends they always mention Tube A and Tube B. They never mention Torrent A and Torrent B.
