You're serious? You're not just asking to be asking?

If you were a content owner would you allow full scenes from your videos to be available for free on tube sites?

I've also read statements from various content owners confirming that fact.

Hell, if in 1997 bandwidth cost what it does today, picposts would have become tube sites by 1998.

A post about running tube sites with free bandwidth at the zoo.

Also the new 2257 regs indicated that the DOJ may be going after the tube site uploaders. They aren't going to want to leave a massive door like that open. Wonder how many of them uploading stolen content have 2257 docs.

Yes Toby is right, that is free advertising, for those who knows how to use that to achieve their purposes and use this type of marketing for them.

Huh? That's not what I was saying at all.

Not sure I should reply as many seem very anti-tube but hey.

The notions that tube site traffic is only made up of freeloaders and that surfers never signup from tube sites is absolute hogwash. Though if you have something wrong with your brain and go putting 30 min full clips on your tube site and then wonder why people arent paying for your DVD sponsor memberships .. of course you really need to wake up.

I run a rather large tube site and take great pains to ensure we dont have 20 min clips etc uploaded, and I know for a fact that not only does my tube make me money, it also makes the webmasters who submit videos money.

The very nature of surfing is changing with this revolution of youtube style sites and media on demand. Surfing habits and the way people surf is changing, and the way we market to surfers has to change with it. I have had to change significantly because if I was still doing what I was doing in 2004 to make money I would already have died out. You adapt or you die.
