I agree. Tube sites should be like modern TGPs. Eliminate "user submitted", all posted content should have revenue attached in some way- either afl or pay to post, etc.
Just like galleries, companies should be able to control what they put out there for free and it's easy to police it if you wanted to. Just as someone else said, if they have the resources to strip and bump watermarked content they surely have the resources to flip it the other way around.
It sucks, you shouldn't have to force people to do the right thing, but the nature of the beast is a site with full length pirated content is going to get more traffic than one with authorised teaser trailers and short clips. To eliminate this content producers are going to have to step on illegal tubes like the music industry did to file sharing sites. You have to bring the battle to a point it becomes unprofitable or nonadvantageous for them to continue to do business illegally. The way to do that is through law suits such as this.
I applaud Top Bucks, they are taking the lead, but to make this truly successful they will need a few others to throw their hat in the ring and file similar actions.
