From Emilie Branstetter, Tech.Blorge: We’ve seen the music industry almost decimated by it, DVD and game manufactures try to block it, and networks try to find a way to profit from it. Online sharing has affected many and outraged more, but now we are seeing an unsuspecting candidate come up to the block for battle; the pornography industry.
With the success of internet file share site YouTube, there has been numerous copycat sites emulating the famous "Tube". According to MSNBC, one of the largest adult entertainment companies, Vivid Video, is now copying Viacom’s case against Google’s YouTube.
PornoTube, the site that Vivid Videos is placing the claim against, is being accused of building its user base and advertising up using Vivid’s material. Since PornoTube is a user based service depending on submissions, law states that Vivid must ask for the material to be taken down in a timely manner which they are stating is not happening.
