I doubt that.

1. Look at the average porn tube, for example youporn.com or pornhub.com. Youīll find a big variety of niches you can choose from, recommended videos, most voted and most viewed scenes. All the previes are searchable. There are cams, livesex offers and you can join the community as well. And last but not least they are available in different languages, well translated.

I canīt think of any paysite that offers all that for free. Even if you join it is most likely that you wonīt get the functionality of a tube. Assuming all tubes steal content (I donīt do so), you canīt say they are stealing design and functionality.

2. Tubes are updated several times a day. Many paysites are not even updated once a month or they rotate content.

3. Tubes offer 24/7 support for users, regardless of wether they are paying or not. Try to contact support of an average paysite ad youīll feel the difference.

Thatīs why i think a paysite owner can do a lot besides sending out DMCAīs. But of course you canīt rely on a market behaviour of fifty years ago.
