Anyways if a site focus on adult content most chance is that they will share not legal content if built on youtube concept.
I understand, I was thinking of tube sites where there were no user uploads. Those could certainly be legit. As for copyrighted content on tubes that have user uploads, why not try suing the tub site itself not the individual uploader? After all they are the ones profiting from the advertising. Isn't there some unfair business practices statue or tortuous interference or something else an attorney could claim against the tube itself, despite their expected defense that some third party uploaded the video itself?
