Oh Man! This is a REALLY good article.
"Almost everyone who owns content looks at illegal tubes as a major threat. The global traffic scale of tube sites and saturation of content is clearly on the minds of Producers."

Spend some time following the graphs and what he is really saying. There is much more to a tube site than it's alexa. He actually makes some compelling points that sites like freeones.com are actually competing very well with the tube sites. It was a little deep for a Sunday reading.
His conclusion,
"It’s no secret in the Adult Industry that Illegal Tubes are a hot as hell topic. Several clearly profit on copyrighted content, along with some Sponsors. So any company willing to sue a Tube over this, I fully support. Some companies may even profit greatly from doing so.
For the groups that believe Tubes are the cause of lost traffic and sales, well… I’m sorry to tell you, that simply isn’t the true.
For me, the numbers tell me to not open a Tube site. And that I probably should stop marketing on them too, including Sponsor Tubes. The ‘net is filled with hundreds of other free and easy traffic sources to tap into. The Illegal Tubes popularity is from finding those unique sources of traffic, as the back links show, and in doing so they have killer rankings to show for it."
maybe a little controversial, but damn he makes some good points.
