We need more customers. And giving away more free porn hasn't worked in the last 2 years. Unless you run a pirate Tube site.

If everybody else has to do the same thing, the tubes will still have the same competitive advantage they have now.

Additionally, such an environment would do nothing to address the forums that post links to stolen content. In fact, it would make them more popular because they'd then become the only completely free game in town.
The way I understand it is it will apply to all sites, paid, free and forums.
