Another Adult Tube Lawsuit - EmpFlix and TnAFlix Sued by Private Media Group
 

Seems to be a growing trend...

ADG

Interesting!

A bump for good news.

Interesting. Private have a very big war chest once they get started.

yeah tnaflix is my favorite tube site to watch your content for free

Great new :)

No way man, we all know they can't touch the tubes;)

Don't show this to Agent488 etc, they'll tell you you're delusional.

But then again, reality isn't what it used to be:1orglaugh

adapt or die;)

Speaking about adapting or die,i see more and more long video tube sites shut down or changing site style due to lack in profit.As i said before,it doesn't matter what kind of site you have,it is matter what is your traffic source.

Before you rejoice champ, you may want to pick up a copy of XBIZ, for almost any month in the past 18 months. It seems that every month's issue there is a new one of these filed lawsuits or claims with some tube site.

Almost all of these lawsuits are settled, dropped, or dismissed and rare if ever go to court.

:2 cents:

in the end of the tubes. thank god. now i can put my head back in the sand.

yes the long play tube model will fail sooner than later. its more like the snake eating itself, there are only so many sources of traffic and viable products to sell on such sites.

saturation is already happening and these sites are rapidly losing more money than they are making.

add to that the mounting legal wars against the illegal tube sites and you have the perfect storm.

of course its always those with vested interest or those who simply have no ethics in business who bark here the hardest for illegal tubes, torrents etc. sad really.

You really have no idea what you're talking about.

I personally know more than one VERY large tube site owner. They aren't losing money, they're making money hand over fist. Here's the part that's really going to blow your mind though: The majority of the income is from selling memberships, not dating or cams.

This I KNOW to be true first hand. Feel free to continue believing what you think is the truth though.

I fucked mommy!

Israeli citizen, Cypriot company, Dutch host.

Even if they win this will be a pain to enforce.

Certainly explains why the torrent sites came down last month though.

how can Israeli citizen start porn site, isnt porn banned there ?

Porn is illegal in Thailand too but plenty of people still shoot there.

I wonder how much money it takes to win a lawsuit like this?

Nothing, if you have the right lawyer.

The only time I ever sued for anything the lawyer did it "pro-bono".
If a good lawyer sees that you have a strong case then they start counting
their own money and prefer a pro bono case because they keep 30% of
the settlement for their fees.

Example: you pay a lawyer $10k on a case and you win 100k settlement;
that lawyer is like "shit, lost 20k by not doing it pro-bono".

Also, if a lawyer knows that he is crappy then he will never take your case for
free because he knows he is going to lose anyway.

You're all confused, as usual.

"Pro bono" is short for Pro bono publico. From the Latin meaning "For the good of the public". The current day use in law generally refers to legal service performed free of charge.

What you're actually talking about is a lawyer taking a case on a contingency. The result is they get a percentage of your winnings.

In the future, if you're going to play expert, try to at least have a basic understanding of what you're taking about. :2 cents:

However, this is all moot. It won't go to court. They will settle. Betcha ten bucks.

:1orglaugh right then you go ahead and keep doing your 1:5000 - 1:10000 ratio tubes along with your oh so profitable buddies.

i will continue with my a)legal promotions b)under 1:500 ratios across the board (except on cams) and c)using far less resources and money to deliver the results.

the reality is a VERY SMALL percentage of people will pay for memberships if they can get daily 10 minute clips for free. duh.

an absolute truth in business-
If you want your customer to buy the hot dog, let him smell it or at most take a small nibble, but for fuckssakes don't let him eat it.

With tubes you let him take a big bite and he'll just keep on eating the free samples until he's had his hot dog's worth. Then the 10,000th person may decide he wants to pay for another hot dog.

It's lame and inefficient, but by all means continue with them tubes:thumbsup

if you know what your doing you can AVERAGE 1:117

It will be if companies are seen to get a positive result from it.

if your ratios are so great and unaffected why so butthurt about tubes?

there you go with your reading comprehension problem again, did you not understand what i said?

As I said people should dedicate their biz to the tube model.

And do some file sharing and torrent sites too while you're at it:thumbsup

Really, people are making tons of money pirating content, shouldn't you?

I am doing 1:500 on memberships, with the complete blessing of the copyright owners. Like I said, you have no idea what you're talking about.

Then you have no idea what you're talking about cuz this thread is about illegal tubes genius.

Sigh. Okay you win. Tubes like YouJizz.com don't make any money selling memberhsips because they have big movies on them mixed in with the teasers. Thanks for setting me straight.
