$450 a month for tracking and removing 10 videos on a handful of tubes seems steep. If it gets to the point where it's 15 - 20 tubes, 15 - 20 torrents, 15 - 20 surfer boards, and 15 - 20 file sharing sites, then it would be MUCH more of a value, because that is where the bulk of the piracy is taking place now. Even if they only scanned the top 10 sites from each piracy area, that would be much better. From what I understand, you CAN alternate the 10 videos, which is a huge bonus (if that is correct), but the amount of sites it currently scans does not seem worth the value. It doesn't take that long to scan 10 tubes and deal with it yourself. The surfer boards and file sharing sites are the real time consumers.
I personally don't see the rev-share option as a real solution (I hope I'm wrong), simply because it's very hard to convert an ad video or sample clip in a sea of full length free videos. Tube traffic is not the best of converters to begin with for this very reason. YES you can make some sales, but the ratios are pretty bad. At least in my experience anyway. I think this could hurt the tubes as well, as surfers are now used to full length videos, and if the tubes start to get filled with promo videos or ads, they will simply go somewhere else. I know I would.
