You forgot one....
3) Sue and try to get a settlement. Worked for you.

Not sure why you wouldn't list your option as a valid one.
Considering the FSC solution is paying a monthly free for tracking content across 16 tube sites (correct me if I'm wrong), I don't really see that as a service worth paying for. 16 tubes + 16 torrents + 16 file sharing site + 16 surfer boards, then it would be extremely valuable. Most of the smaller tubes scrape from the bigger ones, so you don't really have to police a lot of them. All I hear the FSC talking about is tubes, tubes, tubes, tubes.... and while that probably works for the Porn Valley DVD companies, those of us who make a living online know tubes are now just a small part of the problem.
Last I looked into it, the cost was around $400 to track only 10 videos. It would cost me 20k a month to police only 500 videos across only 16 tubes. Then when the find one of my videos on - say one of Nathan's tubes - the system swaps it out for a shorter teaser or ad video that I choose, that will sit in a pile of 1000s of full length free videos? Explain to me how that makes any sense at all, cause I don't get it.
I'm either missing a critical bit of information or simply can't comprehend what is going on, as Nathan condescendingly suggests is the case with everyone. The numbers just don't add up.
Someone please shed some light on the part of this solution that I am obviously missing.
