| Xvideos uses the same technique to good effect as well. All of their videos links follow the format: www xvideos com/videoNNNNNNN/description_of_activity_which_can_be_easily_updated (NSFW) I wanted to mention a mystery concerning Xvideos. Here's a business that is very much in-your-face (i.e. it is not a defense contractor or an organization that wants to be discreet), but its ownership is totally unknown. I researched it. There are literally zero articles or information about who owns it. No interviews with the founders. Nothing. I haven't been able to even figure out what country it's based in. Somewhere out there is a very rich person whose family and friends probably don't realize that he founded a major Internet business. Yes, a major Internet business: they have several million videos (far more than competing "tube" sites), hundreds or thousands of fast servers, and an Alexa rank of 47 which is higher than imdb.com and only a couple steps below microsoft.com. But in this age of little privacy, they've managed to be super private. |
Another infringement suit has been waged by the MetArt Network against a well-known online adult brand. (...) This time around the target is adult tube site XVideos.com and two related web properties (...) along with defendant owners Stephane and Malorie Pacaud of France

Of course, those names could just be covers.
