I think tubes should have free and premium sections where studios can showcase their movies and get paid based upon how popular they are with the members (or something similar).
I don't know if you noticed but it doesn't matter what you think. They will use copyrighted shit until they can't then they will purchase it. The business model will not change otherwise. Tubes have more viewers today than the largest porn sites on earth had 5 years ago. That traffic is worth a fuckload even if they are monetizing wrong. Someone will get it right, they are not investing millions in buying up all the tubes for no good reason. They will be the companies thriving today and in the future.

The old model is not going to recover. It is impossible as long as someone can boot up a server in Russia and post whatever they want. Surfers don't give a shit about you. They will go to 1 site or 50 to get their content as long as it is FREE. If webmasters allow one company to take over the entire market while they are busy fighting and pining for the old days then that is their own damn fault.
