Well, time has proven me right as we are having a record breaking September in both new sales and rebills, while I'm watching lots of other companies go down.

And here is an article on the Titan lawsuit: http://business.avn.com/articles/Tit...tor-54226.html
i love how you ignore the actual court rulings and go to the "pending" court cases as proof

titan lost their case again veoh
they made the same arguement about making money they were doing in the referenced case because veoh charged membership fees

If you will notice...2257 IS mentioned in the suit. But not because a tube has to have it (it doesn't, again: user uploaded), but because it creates unfair business practices because Titan DOES have to have 2257 and can't compete against a site that is not only stealing, but also isn't restrained by 2257 record keeping.

This is how things are going to work. Using what WAS a pirate's "strength" against them and turning it into their biggest weaknesses. It took a while to figure out the correct attack angle, but now? It's on.
i predicted that the fair use was an unfair business practice was going to lose when teen revenue made that arguement,

i was right they lost

prediction they will lose this arguement as well.

free speach (this is my favorite porn scene commentary) being an unfair business practice is going to be even more unlikely to win.
