^^ "Never" is a pretty bold word. I seriously doubt that claim. But even if you want to reel that in a bit and say "less frequently" instead, my point still stands. Yes, a studio can post takedown notices, and/or threaten litigation, but I'm pretty sure that the studios are already aware of that. The fact they aren't doing it tells me that, they either have no interest in doing that, don't have the resources to dedicate to doing it, or have actually done it and found it to be ineffective.
^ Courts haven't shown much interest in taking up the cause of copyright infringement be it pornography or otherwise. In order to peruse that, one needs to litigate the offending sites, and that isn't free. So if you aren't seeing that happen, see my response above to ^^

There are four words that are basically why studios can't sue tube sites for the content on them: Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
The DMCA, or more specifically the Safe Harbor provision of it, state that as long as the site properly responds to takedown notices, they aren't liable for what their users upload to the site. And if a company were to try to take a tube site to court, it would basically end up the same way as Viacom vs. YouTube did, unless they could prove somehow that it wasn't users but the site themselves uploading the content (which has been rumored, but never actually proven). The companies whose content you don't usually see on tube sites are just the companies that are really, really aggressive with their takedown notices. And even then it's not that the content isn't there, it's just that it's uploaded in a way that it isn't easy to find by search.

Considering that Mindgeek has made a financial investment in that entity, I would certainly think so.

A rew days ago, MetArt filed suit in Miami Federal court against MindGeek for copyright infringement. They also claim trademark dilution under the Lanham Act, and they are looking for $15 million in damages.
My guess is that this will get settled relatively quickly since MindGeek doesn't want to open their books to scrutiny by the Feds. Some voices are saying that MindGeek is a target for a money laundering-tax evasion investigation by the Feds, as well.

MindGeek produce some of the best quality HD porn out there. I hope they can take over DogFart cos their overall video production is poor compared to Brazzers etc
