It's not cut and dried like you think. Nobody here can sue Brazzers for looking at them funny or stealing their content.
First thing that me and everyone else did a couple of years back when this started to really grow was to check with attorneys about legal avenues.

what did the riaa do?
they went after the sharers...
now another point is this...
like i stated before, try to upload a watermarked clip that you have the right to or own..
guess what.. it wont get posted..
so, although i am not an attorney nor do i play one on tv, if the tubes are looking at videos for watermarks then i think you ca deduce that they can look for stolen content..
i think that there is a valid argument that the tubes, by not allowing non advertisers to upload legal content are facilitating illegal content...
my argument would be that any legal owner of content would not allow their content to be displayed without proper credit would therefore imply that any non credited content was in fact stolen or used without the permission of the copyright holder..
in my mind its just like when you pierce the corporate veil..
just because you have a registered corporation doesnt necessarily mean that you are protected if you dont follow the laws to a t...
