In for the win.

[Sands]

So who has the inside scoop as to who the defendants might be?

[d-null]

"7.5 million daily users"

[Semi-Retired-Dave]

They should all go to Jail.

[Twig]

Kudos to the hackers.

[DWB]

I would hack in and fuck them up if I knew how.

[Cyandin]

[halfpint]

Kudos to the hackers.

No fuck the hackers I fucking hope they go to jail. I have had nothing but shit over the last month from hackers who think it is funny to fuck up other people websites.

People on GFY bitch about redtube all the time and Im sure that if the big program owners wanted rid of redtube they would have done it a long time ago. So fuck the hackers, they are a bunch of fucktards

[PantiesDropped]

What, RedTube is in my town?

[BlackCrayon]

im surprised they have the balls to file a suit when they are breaking so many laws themselves.

[Phallus Fondue]

so to keep score and all, stealing content to build traffic is ok. stealing passwords to get traffic is not ok.

so forget who they are suing, who got the traffic and did it make them that much money? doubt the prepaid advertisers dropped them, so curious if that traffic does that much in click sales.

it says it hit on the 24th and lasted a period of time. since the 24th was a friday and lets assume it happened after 5pm est. and lets pretend that nobody at the registrar could be reached until monday morning at 9am est. in that case are they really claiming that their traffic is worth thirty cents per user?

or am i just to stoned to be trying to do that math in my head.

[Rangermoore]

I hope they lose their case for being so stupid and not having better security...Dumb ass..

[Dirty Dane]

Interesting. They did not mention where it was redirected, but that will probably be revealed later.

I wonder what was the motivation for these hackers. Money (by stealing traffic) or damage (for redtube stealing content) ... or just for the fun of it..

[SleazyDream]

great media advertising plan - me betting they filed this suit JUST to get it picked up by mainstream news

just me but it's just too coincidental after being sued before- they realized it got them mainstream attention and thus traffic.

... or to scare off others with same intentions.

[Agent 488]

i remember when they were hacked. it's not fake.

[Dirty Dane]

"Turkish cyber terrorists"

[JFK]

it will be interesting to see the outcome

[xxxjay]

redtube will probably win

[RyuLion]

What, RedTube is in my town?

yes! go say hi to them..

[camgirlshide]

This is like going to the police to complain the drug dealer ripped you off.

I'm surprised you have the balls to post things publicly that prove how clueless you are.

[Gordon1]

interesting

[pornlaw]

This one is going to be interesting. I will see if I can get a hold of the complaint and subsequent Answers or Rule 12(b)(6) Motions to Dismiss and post them on my site.

I suspect that many of the defendants will be impossible to find unless RedTube wants to spend some money.

[Iron Fist]

When your that big, the only thing left to conquer is mainstream media....

Nicely played.

[Dirty Dane]

I suspect that many of the defendants will be impossible to find unless RedTube wants to spend some money.

It said Turkish cyber terrorists, so they are probably from Turkey.

[kenny]

Good luck collecting $6 million judgment from Turkish cyber terrorist

[PXN]

sig spot

[Voodoo]

They got Tubed!

[PXN]

Well, if the hackers are not from the US it could be hard to go after them. I wonder where the hackers are from? Russia?

[VeriSexy]

6mill is just to make headlines

[JustDaveXxx]

interesting. This will be pretty good!! Fuck redtube!! And fuck the hackers!!!

[VIPimp]

What, RedTube is in my town?

There is also another BIG tube site that operates in the Bay...

[Redrob]

Sorry......no sympathy here.

[SeanLEE]

Probably Mr.Frisky and Killswitch- these guys will resort to anything for a quick dollar

[rowan]

Shouldn't hacking be a criminal charge rather than a civil suit? I'm assuming that collecting on a default civil judgement is going to be even more difficult than prosecuting a criminal offence across borders...

[topnotch, standup guy]

I'm surprised you have the balls to post things publicly that prove how clueless you are.

You're a regular tube site fanboy nowadays, aren't you?

[Voodoo]

Gooooooooo XBIZ!

[JimmiDean]

Ya Im sure some Turkish kid in his basement will show up in court to contest this claim.
Or maybe just scratch them a check.......
All BS for free press in my view.

[xxxjay]

There is also another BIG tube site that operates in the Bay...

Interesting, that is the same district that slapped a 32M judgment against an ISP:

[DavieVegas]

LOL they gotta get there money back from the whopping 40 mil lawsuit they lost somehow.

[bufferover]

Strange how RedTube still works without any legal problems

[qxm]

Real hackers not using proxy tunnels to clean their tracks?.... lol .... for some reason I don't feel sorry for RedTube ........

If the lawsuit is in fact legit this shall prove amusing ......

[Davy]

On what grounds do they demand $6 million?
Do they claim that's their monthly revenue?
