Any news yet? :Graucho

I didn't ignore anything...I WENT HOME...but yeah, I'm pretty much done dealing with you anyways...I posted my response and that's the way it's going to be...bottom line...say what you will about what you think you know but until you have talked to the site owner himself and gotten the word of his compliancy, don't bother me with your 2 bit detective work

Exactly what I was envisioning in my post.

It would have to be independent somehow, which in this industry, isn't an easy thing to be.

If it weren't, personal business interests of those that ran it would quickly get in the way. :2 cents:

Brujah 08-15-2007 11:20 AM

Add Xpays to the good business list.

XTube_Lance 08-15-2007 11:20 AM

The best way to isolate businesses that are not 'good' is to ignore them completely. Only businesses that are good get recognized and if a person wants to know about a 'bad' business their first clue is the fact that it is not listed.

But doing it that way does not allow anyone to vent or burn someone who has burned them, which it seems like is the point of this thing. Big-it-up and focus on the good, not the bad.

Perhaps a public application process. To get listed on the exclusive 'good; list you have apply in public. All registered members vote on a daily basis for the businesses that are applying. You vote once a month - good, or bad. This would enable the good list to have fluidity and real-time relevance to their position in the marketplace. If they start off good and fuck up, then they move down.

In addition to that members can post comments (within a business profile?) to talk about how great they are, or not great (by clicking a good or bad radio button). Not great comments are moderated to ensure laws are not broken.

Good, I'm done with you too. You very obviously refuse to see simple facts.

This is just like 2257 - the DMCA info needs to be on the site. The law explicitly states that. Everyone can see whether or not it is. In this case, it isn't. No detective work needed for that.

A1R3K, I think you have one for the "bad business" list here :2 cents:

If you guys are going to make a stink on here and accuse companies of being "bad" know why first.

Just_in_Support 08-15-2007 11:54 AM

This is Justin From XTube.Com
Alot of you either don't read or "skim" because you missed this

First things first. List all companies that profit from the theft of content. If you find evidence of financing piracy or blatant content theft, please post it here. We already know of a few that try to skate on the edges of the law to make a few bucks extra at the expense of others. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE PROOF!

I've been reading people uninformed, and ignorant replies on this board, and I am unimpressed. So I'm here to take care of business

1. If you think that we have 99.9 percent of illegal content on the site, then chances ares that they could be yours or those that you promote. i think that number is uninformed bullshit, thats to be expected for someone who doesnt work for a Tube. If you think you're shits being pimped without your permission, contact. We offer numerous way for both our users (meh) and our webmasters and our studios to get in contact with us. Email me, Justin [at] xtube [dot] co, catch me on MSN Support, support [at] xtube [dot] com. Dont be afraid to get a hold of me to vent. But you better have your shit together and your facts straight, and your examples ready. Nuff Said


2. If you want to find out whether your program will allow their content on our site, ask them. Its up to you not us to have permission to post your submissions. Again, if you dont use our Webmaster program on our site, this doesn't apply to you. Email me, Justin [at] xtube [dot] co, catch me on MSN Support, support [at] xtube [dot] com.

3. If you want to find out how to make money when posting your sponsored videos on XTube. Get a hold of me in the method previously mentioned.

And for all you others bashing the place I work for very hard and every day, come say that shit to me personally on MSN. Come make your case to why we're different than your crappy CJ's that users got tired of and came to us. Permission? Pffft that, like i said is a matter for the affiliates to decide, and if you are an affiliate and want to know how we protect your content here at XTube, get a hold of me as well.

I don't need a Better Business Bureau. I deal with this shit on a daily basis and I don't mind working with people so that everyone wins. And to the rest of you, Put up or shut up.

Most of this brings into focus how the programs and content producers needs to tighten up their terms and conditions.

Sponsor content is used to promote the sponsor only.

Sponsor content, except for thumbnail representation, cannot appear on a page with any other advertisements except for the site in question and other sites that are part of the same program.

Sponsor content is provided as is. You chop video clips into smaller pieces, but you may not stitch clips together into longer clips.

Sponsor content with logos must retain the logo on the content.

you may not add your logos or urls to sponsor content. You may not attach headers and trailers to sponsor content videos.

You may not upload or distribute sponsor content through any third party site that you do not own or control. You may not post videos on tube style sites, you may not make the content available through P2P networks, and you may not post the content to newsgroups or other areas.

You may not place sponsor content in zips, compressed archives, or other "single download" format. All sponsor content must be presented in the original format, images as images, videos as videos. You have not been granted redistribution rights in any other format. You may not post the zip files you have downloaded from our content area.

Etc.

Thats Interesting way to look at things Raw Alex, Why would not want your videos promoted on a tube that forward people to your paysite?

This is the kind of thing that each sponsor needs to make sure their WMs are aware of AND following. That was the case with TCG when they asked us to reject all WM content promoting their stuff. Nice and simple - they had rules that their WMs were not following so they asked us to help enforce them. We did and no one got hurt.

I don't think his point is that it's against the law. I think his point is that your company is using what is pretty much a loophole in the law.

I am fairly sure XTube actually does follow the DMCA. However, the DMCA is a huge problem for content owners. If they want to fight their content being used illegally, they have to police hundreds of sites themselves.

For small content producers/owners, that's impossible. It requires several full time employees - something they just can't afford. So, their content stays on sites like yours.

Meanwhile, you essentially profit from their content. That hurts.

RawAlex 08-15-2007 12:30 PM

Lance and Josh, what you guys are missing is exactly what Libertine is trying to say:

the "user generated content" model is based on a flaw that exists in the DMCA laws, which gives everyone the chance to remove offending material if notified. It creates a business model where the owners would have to be totally, utterly, and completely out of touch with reality to think that all of their content on their site is legal.

What is in store for that business model? http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology...eed=technology

This is one of those cases where google is going to get it up the ass so hard the shit will come out of their corporate noses.

Your business model sucks, and is entirely dependant on the work of others being stolen and given to you. Tube sites are a the porn clip pawnshops, the fences for stolen content. Too bad that you guy can't seem to understand how hard you are biting the hand that feeds you.

that loophole will not be around much longer hopefully. thanks to the riaa and mpaa that little gem is gonna go bye bye.

another thing is these torrent sites and the like think they are protected under dmca. they have a false sense of security as some are going to find out the hard way.

Can we please start with "Good Business Practice Guidelines" .. I think that will be the correct first step.

Also is there a few people who would like to donate sometime to working on writing up these gudielines?

It was not exactly my intention for this to become a bash fest ... it IS my intention to REWARD other people in the business taking a stand for our industry as a whole. The idea is that we can reward those people with higher payouts, marketing, deals, branding .. whatever. Basically an exclusive list of people we will do business with ... so that in the future .... GOOD BUSINESS PRACTICE PAYS MORE!

RawAlex 08-15-2007 12:58 PM

Add to this please: the "new" 2257 is very much more restrictive on the whole issue of "innocent hosts". I think that tube sites that manipulate, manage, or redistribute content on webpages they own and control will find themselves on the shit end of the stick. Accepting a file and then re-publishing it makes you a secondary producer, like it or not. So even if you can dance on the head of the DMCA pin, the reality is you still have porn and you don't have the documents - by definition, you have to treat each and every piece of undocumented porn as if it was CP until you have the documents to prove otherwise.

Tube sites will be the napsters of 2008. TOAST.
