youtube...

how did they get their start ?

people uploaded illegal content right and left ..

how did they avoid getting their asses sued ?

they started making deals with various studios, diluting their collection of illegal content with legit titles , user content etc while making the dmca process slow and laborious to slowly remove illegal conent
But are they making a profit?

I know in 2009 they were losing almost a 1/2 billion dollars that year. 2010 looked like they *may* turn a small profit but I never saw anything else about it.
