Do we really need a copyright holders ghetto that doesn't actually influence shit? If we do not keep people both informed and involved in the copyright protection cause, we'll end up with the illegal tubes owners forum above, and the useless copyright holders Gulag below in the list of GFY's subforums.
Also I'm afraid there isn't the whole lot of copyright owners here to keep the collective wisdom of this section at an acceptable level - we'll all just be sharing same old ideas with each other in the end of it. Webmasters who're not copyright holders proved to have valuable ideas and skills for copyright protection cause, it'd be a waste to just throw this away.
I'm pretty sure it is equally important to involve people who're not copyright owners into constructive building of copyright friendly environment, as sharing ideas on actual copyright protection.
One illegal tube site's owner who converted his tube into a legal one, because he was shown the benefits of it and the technology to do that, or simply because he doesn't want to be a third-grade nearly pariah member on the marginal fringe of this wonderful community of ethical and honest individuals, is worth thousand DMCAs.
