Pornhub and it’s sister sites, redtube and youporn were started off the backs of stolen pornography. The fact of the matter is, that tube sites completely decimated the amount of revenue generated from the pornography industry over the past 15+ years. Recently pornhub introduced a verified model program which finally gave us performers and producers the ability to make money off our illegally uploaded content, instead of sending out a never ending stream of DCMAs. However, if pornhub wants to be accepted by the mainstream media, and wants the respect of the adult entertainment industry, it needs to stop allowing our porn to be uploaded to their website without our consent. They currently have THOUSANDS of verified model accounts on their website, each with a plethora of FREE videos. I personally have OVER 200 FREE videos on pornhub. I cannot see any justification for them to continue the practice of allowing pornography to be uploaded to their website by anyone but the creators of the videos themselves. Any pornography that has been uploaded without the express consent of the people who created it, should not be on these websites. We have also seen evidence of abuse being uploaded to pornhub that retraumatizes victims, and we hope this would drastically reduce the number of videos like this uploaded. There are currently organizations actively working towards shutting pornhub and their sister sites down completely. This is just their plan to get their foot in the door so that ALL pornography is banned. Think backpage, but for all porn sites. We have to self-regulate if we do not want the government stepping in to do it for us.  The only way we can do better as an industry, is if we do different things. We can do better, we just need to try.
