Once a thief, always a thief.  And like you said, what's to stop them from using this technology at a later date, or even currently, to put the videos elsewhere, or just keep renaming them and reposting them, or whatever they can figure out to steam roll people to become even larger.
They are like a virus. It's only a matter of time before they mutate again.

Regarding "trust" there are a few solution oriented points that are being missed.
One is that with Manwin and with Slutload, as we have announced before, there is a legal agreement to use technology to reasonably prevent infringement not only for Pink Visual content, but for any content owner that participates in the use of the technology. To purposefully bypass or deceive any content owner that participates would be an
extremely ballsy move. Nonetheless, like with regular business deals we check into how the other party does things as a form of QA. So the same here, if anyone wants to make sure the technology is being used correctly, there are more than reasonable ways to test. We check on things quarterly ourselves. If you can't find your stuff up anywhere, than it's highly likely that a consumer can't find it either.
The other part is that the tube sites have no say over the cost of the program. This is a program negotiated by the FSC & that many of the tubes are legally committed to using.
Typically, without the FSC pricing negotiation, both the content owners and tube sites would pay individually several thousand dollars a month to the technology provider. Instead, the negotiated technology fee is just a revenue share of the earnings. If you don't make any money on the ads, you don't pay the revenue share. The technology is a third party technology & tube owners interest in it is primarily to prevent infringement & become more compliant with DMCA safe harbor by implementing a proven reasonable technology.
