I agree with you ... the Tube Sites are not all bad, nor are the forums all bad. I don't know Brazzers business model, but I am assuming they are large enough to be legit.
What I disagree with (and I won't mention names because I don't want to promo them) is that there are numerous big sites out there that making their money off of stolen content by allowing people to sign up and trade content. Some is porn, some is music and some is mainstream movies. Porn is falling into the same trap that music and Hollywood is failing into. With the easy ability to rip stuff and repost, resell etc.
But these guys that operate these sites where porn is traded need shut down. As an industry we need to shut them down. Starting suing their asses or whatever. Just like Hollywood did with YouTube several years ago. I believe a site operator has the responsibility for not allowing stolen content. But the Internet is a global market place and when some eastern European scumbag posts a tube site and allows anyone to upload anything with no sort of verification it's bullshit.
It's an age old digital/web argument. Is a site operator responsible for policing their own site? In the realm of copyright I say yes.
One last point.
I have nothing against FREE as long as it "legal free". i.e. someone giving away their own content. That is just a new business model and we'll have to learn to adapt.
