Do they own Redtube?
Are affiliates pulling away from Nasty Dollars because of the lack of sales?

Just me thinking aloud, because if you read some of the posts here ND should have the lawyers in full swing by now.
Tube sites with stolen content are the worst, but ALL tube sites are bad for the business, as I have been trying to say all along. Free lengthy porn videos for surfers is bad business - licensed, exclusive or stolen - it just is not a sensible business plan!

As far as lawsuits go, I don't have any good answers, but the legal teams probably cost a pretty penny, the theft is rampant, the government can't even deal with the theft of mainstream content, so they are not going to go to bat for the porn industry, and at first the overpaid lawyers will probably just sent out C&D letters anyway.

How do you frame a lawsuit against the mystery company operating out of the Netherlands or wherever? An international law suit, based upon a speculative amount of profit loss? By the end of the process the lawyers will be the only ones that make money from lawsuits as far as I can imagine.
