So what robbie said and what I have read I connected these dots and just wondering if it has any merit.

is a means to have age verification really a means to kill "porn" tubes by requiring porn tubes to have the 2257 docs? The loop hole is that mainstream tubes, are not in general, age restrictive? So why would xvideos take such drastic measures as to use legal jargon to own your videos?

I do not think is because makes it harder to take down, I think because something is coming down the pipeline and tubes need to own the videos or else...
The only effective ways to do this are:

1. Have Worldwide laws which require it.
2. Allow individual countries to start blocking sites to all internet users within their jurisdiction who do not comply. This means that regardless of what China or Russia does if all US ISPs are required to block the rogue sites then it will have an impact. Sure some will get around it but most will not.

Politicians largely do not know what the hell is going on though. Look at the UK with the ATVOD thing. All they did was put those in the industry who live within their borders at a tremendous disadvantage. It changed nothing otherwise.

Regarding why they are doing it I think it is "because they can". If they can get away with it (and they lack ethics which we all know already), why wouldn't they?
