Porn filmmakers join fight against Internet piracy


Hirsch's Vivid Entertainment, the biggest name in the $12 billion-a-year adult video industry, filed a lawsuit last month against PornoTube, one of a handful of popular video-sharing sites styled as the dirtier cousins of YouTube, Redstone's legal nemesis. Similar to the Google-owned video juggernaut, PornoTube has become a destination for free porn by letting anyone post sex videos without filtering out clips that might be copyrighted.

"Two or three minutes -- that's all you need," Hirsch says. "After watching two or three minutes of hard-core sex, you're not going to go and buy the full movie. And if you look on these sites, an overwhelming amount of content is copyrighted."


"Guess in this case a bird in the hand is definetely worth two in the bush."
