Respect to Xtube for doing this, it's the only good and logical way to go for tube sites - legal legal and legal only

"TORONTO — Xtube.com announced this week that it has suspended indefinitely webmaster uploads to the site, in what one company representative described as “the first of several steps to eliminate copyrighted content” from the site.

In an announcement posted Thursday on GoFuckYourself.com, the company stated that it had reached the decision following “months of deliberation.”

“Due to several circumstances that have come to our attention, all webmaster uploads have been put on an indefinate [sic] hold,” stated the message, posted by Xtube support representative Justin “JDawg” Arlian.

Xtube is still allowing end users to upload legitimate amateur content, according to the company, while suspending webmaster uploads until further notice.

Xtube’s Kurtis Potec told XBIZ that the decision was motivated in part by a desire “to improve our name, and not be known as ‘the people who steal content.’”

“No one with a tube site is really taking steps to stop pirated content from being uploaded,” Potec said. “This is the first of several steps to eliminate copyrighted content from the site.”

Potec said that to his knowledge, Xtube is the first of the adult tube sites to take such steps, which will include having the site’s users do a “comb-through” of existing links to patrol for copyrighted content.

“After we have this solution done, maybe we’ll open it back up for webmasters to upload,” said Potec, adding that future webmaster uploads would likely be allowed only for “approved affiliates.”

One of the challenges for tube sites is to walk the fine line between being responsible about uploaded content while not crossing the line into exerting the sort of editorial control that would cause the site to lose the immunity they arguably have under “safe harbor” provisions offered under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act."

Just small quote from another article on Xbiz.com that's related to legal issues of tube sites (that should be solved like Xtube is trying to do):

"Some of this shared material, however, belongs to Vivid; and the company is taking high profile legal action in the case against AEBN and its PornoTube website; demanding $4.5 million in damages for the 30 of its videos allegedly posted by users to PornoTube."
