I kind of feel like monopolistic entities will alway thrive on the internet because 'webmasters' don't have an organizing body. For instance, this forum is kind of like an organized body, but there are too many free market capitalists here. Too many people out for themselves without any concern for others. That's fine, but you're going to continue to get more tubes and more epass situations, like that.

But Paul Markham is right to point out that the revenue is the real source of the tube's power.

I like the business plan really. It's like TV. But you're going to need advertisers to stay in business, and produce your own content.

Tubes aren't the problem- it's user generated content i.e. stolen content. If xvideos produced its own videos you'd be sure, it would be in a members area and not free.
