The reason these tube owners will win (not if) and everyone else will lose is because that is their business plan. But no one see's it. They want you out of business. They have the money to do it, the brains to do it. It is just business, not personal and they are better at business than everyone else. They dont want to be gfy buddies and they couldn't give a flying fuck what anyone thinks of them. It is just business.
They win. Everyone else loses. The affiliate model is dying and the guys killing it are cutting the affiliate out of the loop. They have the content, they now have the traffic, they have all the new surfers comming from the search engines, they have the publicity. Now all they need is for everyone else to shut up shop and they are done.

If they think that, they are complete and utter morons. The tube business model is a dead end. If no one is joining paysites anymore...where is the content going to come from? Dvd rips? Well, why would anyone buy dvds when they can get them ripped already online from rapidshare or torrents? Illegal tubes will eventually break not only affiliates but the content studios as well. What.. are tubes going to start buying content? Not likely. This would greatly effect their profit margin. The only way I can see tubes lasting any longer than another couple of years is if they work with the content producers/program owners...CONTENT PRODUCERS AND PAYSITE OWNERS ARE THE ONES WHO WILL HAVE THE MOST EFFECT OVER TUBES IF THEY WANT TO..lets face it.. affiliates are only ONE guy. Together they have power but most are just struggling to make it day by day right now. Am I tired of complaining? Sure but there is little else I can do. I already do not advertise any sponsor that I see promoting tubes.
Program owners can either work with tubes or set an example and not work with them. It could cost them money initially but I think they would win in the long run. They have the power/money/content whereas the affiliate has none of that.
