I'm wondering btw (and this is not geared towards you in particular, but everyone reading this)... how many people posting here have actually _NEVER_ downloaded a single torrent, OR _NEVER_ went to youtube.com ...

I am relatively SURE that _never went to youtube.com_ is going to be somewhere close to 0%.

So emm, should you all get sued now?
Why? Youtube is VERY proactive about infringers. Adult tubes on the other hand are not. Nathan, please don't take offence to be pursuing this conversation with you. Unlike "some" other, I am not doing this to demean you or accuse you in any way. I am genuinely interested in figuring out the way you think.

You can't expect this argument of "if you use youtube" to hold water. If creators of content that winds up on youtube illegally want to pursue the same measures that Steve is taking then that is a risk that anyone, myself included, using youtube have to take. Youtube is not about wantonly abusing IP, adult tubes (illegal ones) are.

You'd need to compare apples to apples and porn tubes are youtube aren't really the same now, are they?
