4. How do you feel about tube sites that use stolen content to feed the "premium" members areas?

5. Will they be the death of our business?

Discuss...
1) Operators of websites are exempt from DMCA if its user-submitted content (I believe). If the owners are uploading content, I would imagine that exemption wouldn't apply.
2) Sites like redtube are clearly able to.
3) See #2
4) Most of the ones I've seen are just whitelabels to VOD or something else. I believe pornhub is one of very few which is an actual premium section but my guess is that it backs to Brazzers content
5) No, but it will force a major change in the market in how porn is distributed.
