Sometimes I wish this industry worked more like other "big business" industries. Together, with a little effort like this, we could get rid of the tube sites.



If by some miracle you managed to take down US based tube site (and no such miracle will occur) they will simply move off shore. Dude, if that's your approach you're fucked.

You want to compete with Tube sites, blogs and P2P? Do what Apple did with iTunes -- offer a one stop shop where you can by $0.99 scenes or $4.99 to $7.99 movies that will be universally playable (H.264/MPEG4, no DRM). People will happily pay for guaranteed high quality and convenience even if the free version is also available. You will be swimming in cash.

Keep trying to "beat the pirates" and all you will get is revenge fantasies on your way to bankruptcy. The choice is yours.
