It's so fucking simple, I don't understand why a bunch of the big companies wont get together and do this. You do it the same way they are doing it with this movie. Hit the ISPs and Tube sites with subpoenas for information on who uploaded the stolen content.

1. In some cases it will link back to the site that put the content up and not a "user" and then they will be in a heap of shit.

2. Even if you can just track down some of the users and sue them, that will make a lot of them think twice about stealing porn and uploading it. While it might be "fun" "cool" "funny" or whatever to steal and share porn, if there is a chance to get hit with a 100K lawsuit i would bet you MOST people would stop doing it. Yes I know some will still do it or hide behind proxies, but you will still deter a LOT of people.

Whether a tube site is liable or not for stolen content (if they remove it when notified) is debatable. What is not in question is the people who are stealing the content and uploading it. That is open / shut breaking the law. Go after them.


Oh and a bunch of big companies wont get together and do this because most of them are already in bed with the tube sites and have their own content featured there. As long as their shit isn't stolen and there is a banner linking to their site, they don't care about the other videos there that are stolen.




They might make more in settlements then they did from the movie LOL
