As for them uploading internally, I seriously doubt they are. Six months ago I would agree with you about users uploading random vids for no reason but they try to do that shit on a tube I started which has nothing to do with standard porn. They come along and try to upload copyrighted videos for reasons I cannot even begin to comprehend. I could easily see the big uploaders on the huge sites just doing it for the praise of others or for no good reason at all. I could also see them writing scripts to upload 24/7 non stop for equally non existent reasons. These guys are even dumber than you thought and their motivations make absolutely zero sense.

I'd like to think they killed in-house uploading too, but when you have guys loading 1000s of unwatermarked videos at breakneck speeds, I have a difficult time believing it, especially knowing they once did it. Even with scripts, for what purpose? If you will take that step to make/buy a script to upload videos, surly you would watermark them and try to make some money from them.
However, I could be wrong. I'm just trying to use some common sense.
Common sense that also tells me that if you are going to get involved in such an unethical business, then I can't believe when they say they don't do that sort of thing anymore. Unethical people are usually that way to the very end.
I know he started, or at least did once after we posted it here, banned users after a few infringes. However, they did not delete his 2000+ videos, they just disabled them from uploading more. They said it may violate DMCA law and they would look into it, and then it died off as those threads usually do. However, youtube will wipe your entire account if they ban you, and I have to believe Google has better attorneys than Manwin.
Oh well. Nothing to do about it. Just pointing out some obvious things that seem to have been forgotten now that he's a great guy with vision who's fighting for the industry.
