    this is an issue that could still be a problem, because it is not unprecedented for the U.S. to go after people anywhere in the world for violating U.S. laws...... gambling sites that do business with U.S. customers would be one example, so any porn site that has visitors from the U.S. could conceivably get the same kind of attention? generally the U.S. has waited until a foreign national sets foot in the U.S., but there are many examples of foreign citizens being charged while still in a foreign country when it comes to exporting illegal items to the u.s. (one recent case was a canadian selling seeds to the u.s. and being charged and given up by his own government to the u.s. justice system)

    having your sites on u.s. based servers pretty much cements the issue further I would guess, and possibly brings different taxation issues into the business plan as well if the IRS wanted to get sticky??

            I'm not a US citizen, and I haven't violated any US laws. I run my business according to Canadian laws. Our privacy laws all but make 2257 inspection nearly impossible anyway. The US goverment has no right to do any 2257 inspections on my place of business in Canada. It's not like I'm actively breaking US law and there's no way Canada would extradite a citizen for complying with local laws and ignoring 2257, a non applicable US law.

            As for the IRS getting "sticky", when does using a US service open you up to US tax laws? If I were to for instance run an ad in a US newspaper, you think the IRS can come tax my Canadian business? Sorry, not doing business in the USA, not paying taxes there.

              I agree with you, but I'd be interested to hear directly from the IRS what they think.... if you were to tell them that you run a website that makes $200k a year and that website's server is located in the U.S.A. and a majority of your customers are located in the U.S.A. as well..... I really am curious as to what the IRS would rule on that if it ever came into their attention crosshairs?

                    All countries have trade and tax agreements, and they won't tax you twice in several countries for the same business.
                    But if the U.S. IRS are the ones to claim taxes on me if I rent a server in U.S., I wouldn't mind... because I pay nearly 60% in my country

                      A monkey walks into a drugstore and orders a fifty-cent sundae. He puts down a ten-dollar bill to pay for it.

                      The clerk thinks, "What can a monkey know about money?" So he hands back a single dollar in change and says, "You know, we don't get many monkeys in here."

                      "No wonder," answers the monkey, "At these prices you won't get many more."

                            I felt the same way about the definition of legal and illegal tubes, but I did not manage to point it out as you did.

                              I have a question regarding legality of certain types of tube sites.

                              Let's say the tube site is operated in such a fashion that the site is operated by a script which pulls embed code from several larger tube sites which provide the embed codes for promotional purposes. So none of the videos are actually hosted on your server but the website acts more as a portal to view videos from a variety of sources?

                              Thanks

                                    Should I have started an entirely new thread on a topic that was already covered in a thread that just so happened to be 4 months old?

                                    Looking for a serious response to the question, thanks!

                                      I agree. You have to think small and go after the users. Hell you gotta start somewhere!

                                      the illegal tubes are lawyered up and the legal tubes are protected by dmca. or do i have it backwards? anyways you need go after joe shmo surfer for uploading and sharing copyrighted content. once the news hears about it the surfer will be afraid to share videos.

                                      sure it wont solve the problem, but in future lawsuits the lawyer can refer to this case and create a valid argument.

                                        There's nothing wrong with bumping a old thread with relevant information...

                                        At a webmaster point of view, yes it's just as harmful as putting up a fully hosted tube with the same videos, you're giving full length porn away for free, you may not be hosting it, but the viewers just have another place to get it, and it's another source to take traffic from honest working webmasters.

                                            Looking on the bright side of things, with all these tube sites, at least there is no shortage of jerk off material. It's great for masturbators.
