I own 0.
I don't have a problem with tube sites.
I have a problem with doing something where i'm risking a possible lawsuit in the millions for possible gains in the 1000s.
Thats because i'm not an idiot.
Let me tell you a story about "everyone is doing it". There are 2 older members of this forum who were doing something with domains, and saying along the way, "everyone is doing it". They all had similar attitudes to you. All of them are serial narcissists and don't understand why they can't just do what they want, when they want and without consequences.
The first trademark lawsuit they faced was for $28,000,000.00 for doing something which earned them around 6,000.00. The second was for $40,000,000.00 for doing something which earned them even less.
Boneprone among others was doing exactly what you clowns are talking about. He found himself being sued. His sites went down immediately and he went dark. He probably settled but i seriously doubt it was pretty for him.
You want to scrape content and publish it and monetize it. You don't own the rights to it. Legally, its all very cut and dry.
Personally, i could care less about the right and wrong of it. Thats on you. My point was simply that you willingly draw a massive target on your back where all it takes is one lawsuit and you being named in it to end your financial life. Forever.
This forum is full of sociopaths and narcissists. I get it. You want to do what you want to do and you don't understand the concept of consequences. This forum is a magnet for idiots, the immature and the mentally ill.
When you get older and you've watched lives being destroyed for a $1000.00 a month income... when you see courts taking even the clothes out of someones home to be cataloged & auctioned along with the house, you'll maybe think twice.
Until then, you'll just be a selfish, immature twit who is risking EVERYTHING for literally no money. You aren't going to be at the top of Google making $5,000,000.00 a month and have the ability to fight a lawsuit. You are going to create a short lived farm of sites which earn nothing and where each instance of infringement carries the penalty of statutory damages of $150,000.00 USD... and if you have your way, you'll have 10's of 1000s of videos x $150,000.00 fine each so that you can hopefully make a 1000.00 or something stupid.
That's a thoroughly retarded gamble by any standard.
Every prison everywhere is full of people who had a great plan according to them.
