pretty futile, plug one hole and others open. suing an adult tube site successfully, NO settlements, getting a legal judgement against one is major. we all know adult tube sites don't meet the DMCA's definition of a 'service provider' - that should be very doable for a good legal team. but the DMCA is an American law, win a suit and they all move off shore.
defeat tube sites to any extent - nice but again meaningless unless you are collecting major damage awards because the real monster now is the file sharing operators and their affiliates running blogs and forums. that's where the former paying customers are NOT tubes. Tubes are the home of the young crowd who weren't going to pay for porn anyway. Hotfile, Filesonic, Megaupload, PornBB, PlanetSuzy, RealRapTalk, Filestube etc - that's who's killing the industry.
new technology will continue to put the pirates one step ahead of the industry.
best idea is to sue and collect damages, because piracy will never go away - it would be nice to see the courts see what we all see and know, what a real service provider is and what is a business that exists solely to make huge profits off the copyright infringements of its users/subscribers.
