Still waiting for the first tube site lawsuit where they sue "john doe" defendants, subpoena the site for their records and go after the people who actually uploaded the content ( in some cases this will be the tube site themselves.) The uploaders can't hide behind DMAC and if the site doesn't comply with the subpoena they will be fucked. When they do comply they will piss off all of their "uploaders" / users. Either way its a big win / win. I am still surprised no one has tried this approach yet.

the tube owners upload most of the content themselves so i'm sure they have a way of getting around that, possibly through a proxy server so it would be a huge waste of money.

Not even held in check. Just makes them work a little harder for the money.

As fast as I send DMCA's and they take them down they go right back up or show up on other sites.

The real way to win, is to get the Registrars to do something but they sit back and says its not their problem.

Outside legal time, the cost comes in when you need to file a separate lawsuit against each uploader. As I understand, you can not joinder all the uploaders because each upload and instance of uploading is different. Thus, filing fees times number of uploaders adds up quick.

But how often does that happen? In most cases the person will settle if you make them an affordable amount to pay. The ones that don't settle if it is too expensive to go after them then just skip them if you want. You don't have to get everyone. It's numbers / volume game, pick off the long hanging fruit that get scared because they don't want this to be public knowledge and that can afford to spend $500 or $1,000 to be done with it. Your only cost then is sending out letters once you subpoena them and get the list.

Holy shit... I swear I stared at that for like 5 minutes straight. :warning:warning:warning

I'm going to go full pervert and ask where the video is for that.... it's rare these days to shock me, and that GIF just did it.

Each uploading IP = one lawsuit on tubes. You will spend more than what you are trying to recover going after tube uploaders. Let's also remember we have ADULT INDUSTRY TOP NOTCH attorneys defending the tube sites and their hosts.

Still not sure why you think "threat of lawsuit and sending a letter" means they have to sue each person.
