Spot on. It's all about going after the advertisers who as RawAlex points out are in clear breach of their own rules.

But don't expect it to change the fortunes in our industry.

If this case is successful and it stops Tubes using content they don't own or don't have the rights to, there will be some customers returning. But not as many as we lost.

There's nothing to stop anyone with content opening a Tube site with content they own, giving it away for free, buying traffic and living off the profits from the adverts. The companies advertising on illegal Tubes will be looking for legal sites to advertise on.

Same goes for people like Brazzers. Or anyone with a lot of content that's not making money. Like content providers. So as the industry buys less content it's an option for content providers.

Then there are also the Tube sites with 3-6 minute clips, sometimes hosted by the sponsors. These sites will get content so they can sell dating and cam sites. All backed up by sponsors looking for the easy route, even if it kills the business in the long run.

There is only one way to get customers to buy. That's give them something they want to buy. In adult it's even more important, because porn customers are repeat buyers. Customers who buy repeatedly have a habit of learning

And customers will decide the future of this industry.
