I believe my clips are in PHP also (the tube edited ones) and I'm going to setup a meeting in Amsterdam to discuss giving them exclusive videos. Why would I do this? For many of the reasons JT outlined.
As far as the lawsuit(s) go I have no idea as to their merit, the details or the possible outcomes. But I'm not convinced Met-Art's strategy of lawsuits helps anyone but Met-Art mitigate their dwindling paysite sales.
This reminds me of when the RIAA sued illegal downloaders for so much per song. They won a few cases but this strategy could not (and did not) slow the inevitable death of the music Industry. (Not an exact analogy as Met-Art is not suing 'user uploaders'.)
The bigger questions may be: does this action by Met-Art make Mind Geek stop promoting any and all Met-Art scenes? Ban them from their Content Partner Programs, etc? But maybe that's not an issue for them at this point.
