I watched the whole Montana Fishburne sex tape on SpankWire a few weeks ago. I checked a day later and the video was still up and had over 100,000 hits. I finally contacted Vivid and they said they would get it taken down. That's 100,000 surfers that saw a video that they should of paid $29.99 for.
Since Spankwire is not responsible for user uploads (and I assume it was a user upload) will the Tube sites help hold the uploader responsible for the copy right infringement?
If Vivid is not part of the program will they have any recourse or will it be the status quo? user uploads video, million people watch it, producer sends in DMCA, movie is taken down, on to the next one.

I'll answer the last part:
This is the whole reason why in my opinion content owners should participate. Why send a DMCA after something has been uploaded when you have an opportunity to handle it before it gets uploaded on the site?
Porn is porn and for the most part users just want to see MORE porn, and every studio benefits when other studios prevent and curb infringement.
RE: But one step in a hundred mile walk can be very discouraging.
Many cliche things I can say here like that the first steps are the hardest and we've already done those, but honestly with technology developing and studios empowering themselves to take those simple steps to just learn about their options from real experts is what we need and we see more and more announcements of studios making those steps and changing from a culture of victims to being empowered.
