I'm all for people posting opinions on the internet, freedom of speech and all, but uploading content one doesn't own has nothing to do with that. I'l say put an end to the unanimous posting of things, if you want to post content somewhere you will have to proof you have the rights to, or at least be traceable when it turns out it isn't.

Autonomous might be the better word there. But of course you're right, consequences were always needed for this, and until there are this problem won't go away anytime soon. You know there was always a demand out there for "more free porn!", trust webmasters to figure out how to deliver it better or create scripting that allows the end user to share at will. Everyone's looking to blame the problem on something, the weak DMCA, tubes, even the talent has been blamed in this thread. I say the real blame will always circle back to those people who've sought ways to give away more and more free porn. As in people from our own ranks. IE: Webmasters.
Seriously, what other industry does this? Certainly not the food industry, I see no massive giveaways going on at any of my local markets. Clothing? Nope. Movie industry perhaps? Hmm, still seems to cost about a dozen bucks to get into a theatre these days, and a fairly tight lid is kept on pirating of new films. Why would Hollywood do this when they could set up movie tube sites and give their stuff away for free? Oh that's right, they're in it to make money. Shit why didn't we think of that?
On a side note that guy Gideongallery who used to post here, it would have been interesting to see him come in and argue with you, Patrick the hun, on why you're wrong and why it's a God-given right people have to take what isn't theirs and upload it or profit from it as they see fit. :D
All I know is, as a webmaster when I go to a site like tube8 or pornhub and look around a bit all I can think of is why would anyone pay for porn when it's all right there for free? Pick any porn star, type her in and hit search and chances are good that all or nearly all of her clips will be there. There's more porn video on the tubes than anyone could watch in a lifetime. In three lifetimes. Gosh, when will a giant box store called FOODTUBE open where we can all just go in anytime and grab as many groceries as we can and take it home for free? Boy these other industries are really behind the times.
