Sadly, I can see how RedTube might actually win this case. DMCA protects them from liability for the stolen scenes they post. While I applaud the efforts of whomever did the hacking, that is clearly illegal and the stolen content on the site won't even be brought up in arguments. It's irrelevant to the case.

My guess is that whomever did the hacking doesn't have any money anyway. So RT is probably just trying to warn others with the same ideas. I don't think they have much expectation of actually collecting any damages.

Actually it's quite relevant. If they seek damages on specific profit "loss" from the usage of stolen content, then they also have to admit the hackers were right about their motives

no it doesn't. I could elaborate but why waste the breath. DMCA "can" protect people doesn't mean it always does.
