Legal liability for Tube viewers???

[ArtWilliams]

I've never heard of them going after the viewers of copy infringed material. Vivid Entertainment has filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against PornoTube. When that is done and PornoTube is toast, the others will fall. If not before. There is no proven business model in running a tube site. Do they really think that they make money from AFF memberships?

Is suing the pirates, those doing the sharing, a way of making money and deterring people from stealing?

It's not making money. It's recouping losses due to some ignorant douche-drinker giving away your expensive content to thousands of freeloading sacks of cunt, and thusly decreasing the value of your members area.

Hey, this ain't talking about suing the pirates.

Everytime a surfer watches a stolen clip, they are liable for a $750 fine per clip. So if you watch 10 illegal clips, that would be $7500 in fines you have to pay.

Just imagine the backlash against the sites when the lawyers subpoena the server logs, and file 10,000s of those kind of fines.

Hmmm, I wonder......|goodidea

tubes sites not going any place. A few big ones not even in the states, so who you going to sue? Also boot leg videos tapes on the streets and malls are a worst problem, they have not stop them. Free porn is here to stay
