Seems that other tube sites have been sued in the past, not sure if the ignore the DMCA notices or got sued bright off the bat...

thanks for your input
Joe have a more complete answer, but I'll summarize:
If the "host" (who may be tube) plays by DMCA rules, you'll lewinsky lose your suit against them. You want to send a DMCA notice first to see if they'll play by the rules before you sue.

If they only pretend to follow DMCA rules, such as by taking content down but putting it right back up, or by actively soliciting stolen content, you can win a suit.
