Paul and others,
I understand your intentions on some of your points here and the history of tube sites.
Moving on from that and looking at the near future realities, a reasonable time frame will be the main factor. Later this week we'll be sending in our DMCA's & reserving about 50 live urls for us to test against the finger print filtering once that is live. And later on, once Manwin announces that the digital finger print filtering is 100% live, you can see the results on all the studios who have their content finger printed (see bottom of

So later this week/early next, look for Pink Visual removals. And after Manwin has completed the digital finger print filtering, I'd be happy to share the results of the 50 test urls.
I'm looking forward to the day that a studio like Pink Visual doesn't have to worry so much or spend so much effort in finding content on tubes & sending DMCA's & then checking on removals. And that day should be near given the APAP solution & the various tubes already committing to integrate & the others now considering it. This for me is a more realistic solution than debating every tube (and most aren't on the boards willing to interact with GFYers) about their repeat infringer policy, which for the record, we obviously advocate stricter policies rather than loose ones.
In the mean time, the FSC APAP solutions remains simple. The more studios that get their finger prints done, the more content will be filtered out and even monetized the way the studio wants.
