TeenRevenue Sues RedTube for $40M

That will certainly send some shock waves through the industry. The question is whether it will have anything beyond this initial filing.

It's an interesting strategy to use though I'm not sure how successful it will be with including companies that aren't stealing their content. Not to mention that their lawyers will be taking on lawyers for about a dozen different entities which, I imagine, will be quite the workload to have to deal with as they get deluged with motions upon motions to respond to.

actually, I think it is exactly the way to go. As of the date the lawsuit is filed, the sponsors have no way to say "they were not aware of violations". Each and every one of those sponsors has anti-hacking / anti piracy terms (Videoz; "NO INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY VIOLATIONS. Webmasters are prohibited from engaging in any promotion which would violate the intellectual property rights of any person, group or corporation."). So basically, as of this date, each one of those sponsors should in fact be pulling away from RedTube, because they are now aware that RedTube is potentially in violation.

I am not sure that Teenrevenue will ever get a dollar for all this, but I suspect they will get redtube shut down at some point.

They get a win on one of the advertisers. The house of cards will fall fast.
