I understand that there are mom & pop shops around everywhere, but $450 USD a month? EVERYONE here complains how all the tubes steal their content and cause them to make less money, if $450 USD a month is too much, how much less money are you making because of the tubes stealing content?
Or are you now saying you are making less money simply because the tubes exist? If that is the case, then your problem is not piracy, its the fact that tubes are in your opinion hard to compete against.
$450 USD is basically 10 sales a month or 1 sale every 3 days. Are you losing less sales than that because of the tubes in your opinion thus its not worth it? I am trying to figure out where the problem specifically is.

Shows how little you know about this business or any business if you think $450 = 10 sales a month. So let me explain to you what it costs to take $450 a month. Less processing feed of 10% ($45) less affiliates payouts of 33% ($150) So an extra $450 is $255. Where did you learn your business management and accounting skills?

It will simply shift our traffic to tubes and other sites which are much harder to deal with than we obviously are.

DMCA has become an enormous cost of doing business because of you and people like you who profit from others hard work and paying them nothing.

You can change the present. And you have absolutely no intention of doing so. Unapproved uploaders can have limits on the length of scene they can upload. Serial offenders can have ALL their videos deleted. You won't do either because it will hurt your ability to sell ad space. Selling ad space because you have pirated full length videos on your Tube sites TODAY is your business plan. Yes you want to work with everyone, every serial pirate you can find.
It might bite you in the ass if you really cared about piracy. Hang on you do care about piracy, you love it to death.
