Maybe excl. content owners count with some DRM protection so they still invest in custom stuff
Anyway I always wonder why people simply don't take some money and buy out all the nonexcl. content providers (30K would get them tons of content) and set up completaly legal tube sites....maybe I am naive and don't understand the problem well.
anyway thnx for input

thats because the content guys have rediculous licenses when people *buy* content from them. I don't even know whey they call it "buying" because they all seem to have restrictions telling you what you can and can't do with it and if you do something wrong then you forfeit your license (lose your money). Its a license agreement to use, you not buying the content, just the right to use it. The content sites I have looked at, their licenses are so restrictive that i would bet 90% of the people who are buying from them are violating the license. Some of them say you can't put urls on the videos, you can't display more than (4) mpgs for a total of 60 seconds on the same page, etc. etc. etc.
Unless someone wants to "sell" content and not license it, they are not going to be able to put a tube site together by buying content, unless these guys change their rules.
