According to our article, this is "the single largest such website on the internet, hosting more videos than any similar site". However, the article does not really explain the legal situation with regard to copyright questions: How can all these videos be watched legally without paying?-- Converto ( talk) 18:46, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
afaik the company that owns it is MindGeek which also owns a ton of porn sites. So they're showing their own videos. They make money from ads, like most free sites. Sheila1988 ( talk) 22:51, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
@ InedibleHulk: Considering your link to Porn 2.0, I am not quite sure about what exactly is meant with regard specifically to copyright law in the relevant section there when it says that "A 2007 decision by the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals found that the 2257 legislation (Child Protection and Obscenity Enforcement Act) was unconstitutional and violated first amendment rights. The decision was overturned in a 2009 en banc rehearing." – What does that actually say about whether the material you find on porn tube sites is legal or illegal? And why? Sorry, but I am not very good at that legalese...-- Converto ( talk) 18:05, 19 March 2018 (UTC)
