Bringing a lawsuit stating "unfair business practices" would be a long shot under most circumstances, and with most industries not just Adult. To "prove" this you have to show criminal intent. And what, exactly, is an "unfair business practice" in today's climate and world? Way too vague an attack on a site as huge as RedTube.
Going after tubes on copyright infringement is ultimately the way to go; if ALL the content on ALL the tubes out there were submitted by programs (like PeabodyCash etc) then there's be absolutely no issues. You could choose to share in the tube's traffic or you could choose not to but there wouldn't be anything ILLEGAL about 'free".
Honestly, if I ran a tube site these days I'd just strip all the "user submitted" content and ONLY show content from Programs (or content the tube itself purchased legally). I mean, at this point the only benefit to having "user submitted" (i.e., possibly 'stolen') content on your tube site is to get the free publicity after someone sues you. LOL
