Yes but they laughed at the faces of copyright owners and never removed a single torrent - they even had a page where they MOCKED at all the DMCAs they got, it's still there btw:

Now their arrogant attitude was stuck up their own asses, hopefully those skinny farts will suck some Bubba's cock all the while they're in jail.
But they were not compliant, while the tubes in question ARE, that's what makes all the difference. They comply with takedown requests, they have producer accounts with the immediate take down option, and they have a no-upload list. What else could be required of a public service under the current DMCAish legal climate worldwide? Not much I guess.
Of course we'd want them to be responsible for checking the legality of every uploaded video - but that's not required of them by law and they're not going to do that. They're only required to do their due diligence in assisting the copyright holders (which they did), and thus they're clean until the laws get changed. Aside from patroling their sites daily, there isn't much more that we can do now.
