As a result, the search engines point at those tube channels which will be next to the original sites with the only difference that they are 100% free, so, a visitor is left with harsh dilemma weather to pay for watching them or watch for free.
Yes, those uploads will create traffic and if the videos have watermarks surfers will search for them and... will get the search results where the tube channels will provide those videos for free.
So, by uploading the videos to the tubes the producers create competition to their own sites.
I also noticed that the tubes are trying to make it more difficult for the uploaders to delete the videos later on, i.e. one of the sites removed a Delete button altogether, later on allowed to delete only 1 video per month, and now (probably because of the massive outcry) allowed the videos removal again. And all that, as they say, because they don't want a search results to point at a deleted video.
So, how much harm and how much good the tube uploads do?
