Xvideos Shuts Down Video Uploading
 

February 3rd, 2012 : Today we are shutting down the video upload service completely, until further notice. We are heavily redesigning our content management process. There will be a human review of 100% of the past and future videos. We will systematically require additional information when the persons in the videos look young, or delete these videos before anyone can see them.
Please note : we are strongly against hosting videos featuring minors. We have been forwarding every probable underage video information, along with uploader details, to agencies such as FBI. Do not upload underage content, we don't want it. It will get you in trouble and it hurts us too. You can read this page for more information. More details will be published soon.


Anyone else think this is a trend we may see from more tubes???

Eric what is TomsCrawler?

If they are telling the truth this is really great news.

Excellent.

Legally I think they have to stop uploading as they are now reviewing all the content with a "100% human review" which they can't do if they want to be protected by DMCA.

Any tube with 1/2 a brain would do the same to clear the crap and possible illegal porn from their sites. I can only speak for the Asian/Thai market, but there is a ton of child porn (shot on cell phones) on many of the tubes. And how would I know you are asking yourself? Because they are of schoolgirls with certain hair cuts. Hair lengths that only certain grades have. LOTS of 13 - 16 year old girls on these sites.

I'd like to see the feds drop bombs on sites who host shit like that.

To me that article is all about underage porn and nothing about piracy.

seems like it:2 cents:

Pirates don't tell the truth.

Could potentially have a lot to do with the HUGE bust in Canada yesterday?

Which Bust was that?

Just another one following the trend of transforming former "illegal" tubes with "user uploaded content" into legal promotion platforms for content owners.

Great news for program/site/content owners actually. However, who's gonna need affiliates anymore if every program owner is able upload his content to just a few tubes and receive gazillions of traffic and probably even gazillions of sales?

Good question.

They busted something like 60 guys in a child porn ring. Largest in Canadian history.

I would say reading the notice that they are under investigation themself or are involved in some investigation.

Yep......

there goes the traffic to other illegal tubes....s

Sounds that way. Either that or they know they have a ton of child porn and are desperately trying to remove it before one of those sixty guys who was busted starts spilling the beans about how he loads his child porn to their site.

That means they got smart. They are buying content to make that shit legit. Anyone need tube content holler :)

I got that too when reading it. Seems like they're worried about something since they'll be manually reviewing all past and future content.

I'm so happy to see all of the news coming out in the last two weeks.

Seems like many previously thought they were out of the reach of authorities and are now worried for one or more reasons.

Is xvideos owned by Canucks?

nophest is still a dbag

If so, I would find it ironic that yet another giant tube full of shit is owned a Canadian company.

Something must be in the water up there. :upsidedow

I just skimmed it. xvideos kills our JAV sales cause they have dickheads uploading every frickin dvd that comes out. I wish the whole site would go away.

If your summer lasted 2 minutes I guess you'd do more stuff indoors. lol.
Maybe its all the radiation they catch from the auroras...
So many crooks seem to be based in Canada. WTF - :mad:

I think the owner goes by the name of Nophest

not a problem at all. Xhamster still does accept submissions.

Yea, the amount of Japanese content on the tubes is mind boggling. It makes it very, very hard to sell Japanese sites. I'd love to see Japanese studios start policing their content. Never gonna happen on a large scale, but I can always dream.

on their home page..........
 

This was on their homepage. I almost posted it without covering the face. But I thought I might get banned for posting innapropriate material.

Looks in a same way to me :2 cents:

you mean that they were illegal for a long time, got the traffic because of stolen content, sold ad spots, made some money and are now going legit... maybe...

sounds more this

So they were investigated by AVN too? Oh, wait...

:1orglaugh I just sharted.

looks legit

Xvideos has always thought he was above the law. For him to do this he has to be very scared and if he's scared then I would think other tubes like him should be equally scared.

I hope USA will pass some kick ass laws and shut down all illegal sites :D

:2 cents: I lol at people who think things will continue as is.

I think megaupload really scared the shit out of alot of people He was the king of thinking he was untouchable. A lot of these guys have made huge bank. It's time for them to realize it's retarded to keep taking high risks and instead cut back and be happy they got away without major consequences.

I remembered Nophest sold this site (and xnxx) some months ago... Don't know who's the new owner...

I like it, one tube site less to check for my videos
