For those of you who say the tubes with licensed content are okay, or the tubes with promo clips like MGPs are okay, are also mistaken. The tube sites will compete with each other. The way for one tube site to beat out another will be to offer LONGER FREE CLIPS and provide this FREE PORN faster than the competition.
Surfers will not go to Joe's free tube site full of 30 second promo clips once the find out about the tube sites that offer longer clips, and often full free scenes.
These sites will eat up the pay-for-porn models, and then devour each other. Anyone who thinks otherwise is dreaming.
STOP THE TUBES!

I'm excluding stolen content.
The governing factor will be the cost of the Tube site v the ROI. If you can't turn a profit then you go out of business. If you make a profit you stay in business.
Even Zorgmans option of the sponsor hosting has a cost, if it replaces the cost of the affiliate and makes a profit thats a business evolving. If it does not make a profit the sponsor pulls the clips. Sites stealing content have to host everything themselves. Even more costs on a poor return.
As for the industry standing up to protect itself. Dream on.
Look in your drive way at the make of car you drive and the size of car. I'm thinking you're an American. Forgive me if I'm wrong and read this as an example.
Then take off your shirt and pants and look at where they were made.
We buy the best product at the best price we can find and think of TODAY and never tomorrow. Affiliates will not spend money or divert traffic to companies screwing them and sponsors will go where next weeks buck is.
Sorry if the truth is a bitter pill, but these threads have been done again and again and I see nothing much else happening.
