I don't know and/or don't care

Btw what is your stand on this Steve?

AsianDivaGirlsWebDude · 09-23-2009, 01:51 AM

I voted "No", however I think they sold themselves out more than the rest of us.

I would truly like to hear an explanation from Eric about this, and how it different from the Guba ad debacle from a few years back...

Vjo · 09-23-2009, 02:00 AM

Yes right choice for them.

I would have prob took the money if it was my board so I can't be a hypocrite.

Apparently this ad brought in more than the ave ad so it's just biz. Doesn't mean they endorse the whole tube thing.

okny · 09-23-2009, 02:03 AM

It said to see with where things are heading people are jumping on wagon instead of standing up and doing something about in there case i'm sure it doesn't matter because the money has been made, it seems like it's every man for them self now in days.

They can sue me for libel, bring it.

Vjo · 09-23-2009, 02:12 AM

When I first see the bg, first thing I think is hmmm someone in the tube game layed up some scratch. I don't really go the extra step and link it to GFY. But I understnd how many would feel betrayed.

For the record i do think tubes took a shit in the traffic pool and were all wading in it but that has nothing to do with GFY. They're just in position to make money.

spazlabz · 09-23-2009, 06:26 AM

The premise of the poll is flawed

GFY did what they felt was in their best interest, Eric sold advertising and I am pretty sure thats the Vice President of Marketing job. I wonder if the President of the company would have been pleased to hear that he said no to a pile of cash that high

it's still disappointing as hell though

I did sign up there, and it's really dead. No offence... but I like GFY because it's fast. I'd completely own his board in a half hour if I posted there like I do here.

Mistake or sold out.. I don't know. "Sold out" depends on how many prostituting themselves... Personally I won't participate in any of these "campaigns".

lagcam · 09-23-2009, 07:46 AM

It's business, and none of OUR business.

If one of you morally upstanding big hitters book the space, then its not available for the tube companies to rent is it?

Also, if GFY don't monetise, (from anybody they can) then all the post crap all day people have nowhere to go.

EthnicLover · 09-23-2009, 08:05 AM

DMCAs only apply to user uploaded content. If it is a company that stole the content and put it on their site, that's theft plain and simple. No DMCA needed, just sue their ass.

DMCA is not valid law,since there is many stolen videos which stays there if no one complain about them.

Glenn Beck · 09-23-2009, 02:51 PM

Even if it is a user upload or whoever uploaded it, it is still stolen. Aren't there some laws that require you to log and eventually report crime activity on your website? There should be...

I should have replied/quoted Steve, hit the wrong one. Steve said they hide behind DMCAs ... which is half true. Since the owners of tube sites say it's user uploaded (and no one has proved otherwise, yet) then you have to follow DMCA. However, if you can prove in any manner that a company that runs the site stole your content, they CANNOT hide behind DMCA.

Well, that's why there should requirements about logging and reporting. German court already ruled similar to Rapidshare and Usenet ruled to be responsible for user uploads. This is individual cases, but when the "protection" become abuse on big scale, it need to be forced through laws... or other restrictions.

I agree, if the user can't get in trouble for uploading it and it can be covered by DMCA, then why don't they release the IP addys of these "users?" I bet you'd see one IP doing A LOT of uploading.

Wow you really are pitiful. You can easily debate whether or not GFY should associate with tubes or whether they are harming others business or whether tube traffic converts...... but to deny or claim ignorance about the well established fact that they are stealing content is fucking pathetic. I know you are not actually that clueless so it fair to say you are sucking up to the big boys on the block for whatever reason.

Dude, your argument that a lawsuit = legitimacy is flawed. Who has the time to chase down everyone who steals?

If someone, or say, a group of people not easily identifiable were using say... your logo on their sites or w/e equally valuable item you put money/time/energy into and it was affecting your business but not in a way that is directly measurable - would YOU spend 4-5 hours of each and every day tracking these people down, sending out notices & following up with a suit if they failed to comply?

Who has time for that!?

The bottom line is that this industry has been consuming itself for a very, very long time. We proved to ourselves time and again how divided we are, and how money is king in this business. There were people bitching about too much given away during pic tgp days, then movie tgp days that was the new end of the world...

It's like the corpse has long been dead on industry collectivism, and everyone just now is realizing it.

right
except with scaping protected by cache ruling
and user actually submitting

do you know of any tube sites actually stupid enough to "pirate" and upload the content themselves.

None are so that a straw man arguement
and you should know it.

so if you have such proof why don't you just sue them, DMCA would not apply
and they obviously have money since they paid for the skinning of this board

or at least post the proof so that someone else with the balls can go after them.

allureman · 09-23-2009, 10:18 PM

I am sorry. When someone like Steve can't speak out on a board he supported for years then its time to tear it down and start over. I agree I am tired of being ripped off and ANYONE supporting theft is WRONG! Its that Simple. I will not be buying any advertising here ever again.
