I don't think you get that most people would have no issue with them if they were making the full scene content they licensed from you available for free. People have issues with them because their tubes are loaded with stuff which they haven't paid for. People have issues with the theft because it harms them and their business. It's not because they bought up this company or that company. It has little to do with operating a tube in itself or the technology behind it. The issue is the stolen content on the tube and the policies which perpetuate it. I frankly don't care if they are wanting to sell ads for tampons on PornHub in order to break into mainstream or whatever. More power to them. Just get the stolen content off the tubes and start changing your policies to discourage it more.
