- SwellJoe 19y agoHow so? It seems to me that the YouPorn folks are at far higher risk of being sued out of existence...yes, all of the traditional pay-for-content sites, and buy-our-DVDs companies, are in serious trouble, because of sites like YouPorn. But, taking YouPorn out of the picture through acquisition wouldn't solve that problem--though I guess I can begin to see the extortion angle if we follow that through to one possible conclusion: Every 20-something nerd in the world will suddenly think, "Hey, I can build a killer porn video site, and some poor schmucks at a billion dollar porn company will have to buy it to prevent competition!" Hard to say how the targeted buyers view things. But they're (currently) in the position of power. They have hundreds of millions in revenues, versus a few million for YouPorn. And, now that YouPorn is known to have revenue, and has forced itself onto the radar of lots of people, it's going to attract lawsuits...
