Nice to see how serious some are about stopping content theft.
Yes it's going to cost money and yes it's going to take some extra work. Is it worth the effort and inconvenience to slow down sites stealing content?
I have constantly talked about the moral and ethical side of stealing content. So if it's ok for billing processors to wait for a DMCA then I assume the same courtesy can be extended to Redtube. It's ok for them to put up any content uploaded until they get a DMCA.
But here's another thought and it's me thinking left field.
Only CCBILL and Epoch know the damage being caused by stolen content, they are right at the front and will know if the over all revenue is dropping on the porn side of the Net. Maybe it's not.
Maybe these sites serving out cheap porn are actually pushing up the over all revenue, just not on paysites adopting the old method. Maybe the surfers who would not spend $30 will spend $9.90 or less. In such numbers to push up the over all spend. I would imagine the bosses at the major processors taking the extra time to monitor content if they saw their revenue and earnings dropping.
