| How will they pay for it? Torrent traffic is paid by the people doing it. How will this YouTube clone work? People still hosting it themselves and just finding each other via VideoBay? If so the MPAA racketeers will simply go after them. If it's hosted by VideoBay how will they pay for all that traffic. | |

They are making money hand over fist with the amount of traffic they get , those ads they have generate big bucks for them. And the more they skirt the law and the local **AA brings it to the news the bigger the take for them.

| Multiple Hosting Points? People are forgetting that even if it does get taken down in Sweden, they'll probably have alternative hosting in other countries whose copyright laws are even looser than Sweden's. This is what they did with Pirate Bay, so it'd be safe to assume they would do the same with the Video Bay. | |

| Re: Multiple Hosting Points? As long as its a country that is not in the world trade organization and never plans on being in, then they can probably get away with it. Otherwise the WTO will block them out or keep fining them, similiar to what happens to china, and still happens today. But china was kept out of the WTO for many years. Their economy is going nuts now that they are in though, those of us holding chinese stocks know what I'm talking about  | |

| Whack-A-Mole At this point, file sharing is known to the masses. Even if TPB is taken down, there are still dozens upon dozens of other sites to get torrents.
And as those go down, new ones come up. Even with all of the time and resources available, it's a monumental task to get one site out of the way, let alone all of them. | |
