Tube8 Will Be profiting from everyone soon!
Tube8 released today via email to all members that they are running a contest and giving away cash and prizes to the most users who upload videos. Tube8 claims they will release videos as they come in and have made changes to their platform website for faster releases. (Of course, they don't moderate).
What does this mean?
Manwin doesn't care about piracy. They've been sued many times, never paid, never showed up, they obviously don't care. Even sending DMCA's can take time for them to acknowledge and act on them.
With all of this said... Keywords in their release are: "Winners will be chosen by the number of submitted uploads, given cash and prizes, and fast video releases!"
By the time a user submits a video, it goes live, Tube8 will receive DMCA's. By the time they acknowledge DMCA's and act on them, I foresee the winner being announced!
I personally... Out of their thousands and some gay videos, I've only ever seen a couple of homemade videos. With this, they're encouraging users to keep submitting their pirated content. Which is in a way Tube8 saying, "Send whatever you can, you'll be rewarded for helping us stay a pirate site and we don't give a fuck!" Here's your money and prizes.
This is really shady. If they moderated, they'd be a good company. BUT THEY DONT! This really bothers me.
