You're confusing two arguments that are entirely unrelated.
I've never said that tubes do not account for a lot of traffic, they do. If substantial tube sites go down there is less availability of easy to watch, free porn. However many large tubes also license or own a significant amount of content, or have sponsor uploaded content.
However on the other hand traffic to sites connected to the file locker eco system is equally large, and virtually all of the content contained on them is infringing.
If you believe that tubes are a larger problem than the file locker eco system, can you explain why you believe this and how you came to that conclusion ?
We chose to start with file lockers and we're now expanding our efforts.

You're doing a great job at fighting for such companies as Microsoft, Apple, EA Games, and of course, MPAA and RIAA. If you think for a minute that file lockers are more harmful to the adult industry than a tube site is...You're living in a distorted reality. However, I can't blame you for doing what you're doing...The real money is in sponsorship by those companies I've listed. Good luck with the transition from adult to mainstream with Cold Copy.

Again you keep pushing these fallacious arguments. You have chosen to adopt a viewpoint that tubes are worse than the file locker eco system either because you do not understand the extent of piracy within that eco system or that you find it self serving to diminish the problem that file lockers cause.
Some of the most persistent pirates we have tracked use file lockers to store their infringing content, much of the content uploaded to tubes originates on file lockers, a common source of content for uploaders to file lockers comes from torrents or the creation of memberships on pay sites whereupon the site is ripped, packaged and uploaded to a file locker.

Again, it suits you to push this point of view, what you are saying is that we are unable to act independently without fear or favour. We are beholden to nobody. You can repeat your groundless accusations time and time again, they're completely untrue.
