Any content, even amateur, is copyright. There is nothing like public domain. Most of the stuff on YouPorn is from amateur portals where people normally have to pay per video.
Each and every time a user uploads a video he didn't produce himself, it's a copyright violation. It's no a by-product, it's the business model and any different claim is a lame excuse.
I just hope that all the YouPorn scapers that are launching at the moment will teach them a lesson, bandwidth wise...they get their stolen content pulled live, but can't display their ads. Fair deal, they steal, others steal from them. Maybe the problem solves itself.
