Who stoled all the link list traffic?

I always smile when I see UW post, he has a real knack for putting things so eloquently

As for my 2c worth. I think tubes are a temporary thing that will go the way of the dinosaurs. The overheads for such a site must be crippling in comparison to the earnings and as we all know if the surfer gets enough to jack to, he or she is never going to pay…

The model was flawed from the start and it’s just a matter of time before expenses, lawyers or hackers take them down for good.

Bandwidth is cheap and hackers aren't a real threat. I am still waiting for major sponsors to take some of the tube sites that show their full-length clips to court. I suspect they're seeing sales from these sites all the same, or else why not prosecute?

Something I've been thinking about when it comes to tube sites. Do you really think real users are uploading all these movies? Why on earth would the normal porn surfer who just joined a paysite take the time to upload huge full length movies? I admittedly dont understand the whole tube concept completely, but I think I have a pretty good idea of how it works. I just dont see the incentive of users taking so much time to put these movies up. I imagine there are some that do, but I would be willing to be that the majority of these movies are flat out stolen by the tube site owners. Its the site owners who have the incentive to have all these movies up for everyone.
