Also if the FBI were to show up at your door and want your 2257 docs for all the videos on the site what would you tell them? Somehow I don't think they would accept the "I'm just a host" excuse.
In the end the viacom suit will set a lot of standards one way or another. if Viacom wins it will pretty much make it clear that if you don't have permission, or license, or personally own content you can't put it on your site no matter who uploaded it. If Youtube wins then the DMCA safe harbor shelter will be a legit hiding place for sites like Youtube.

they wouldnt show up on my door in the first place as running a tube site isnt illegal... if i remember you guys agreed that it isnt illegal to allow people to host videos, as long as i respond to dcmas..
btw if u wanna be one step ahead you can make people click 18+ to enter site, plus make them click checkbox confirming they have legal right to content before uploading..
It wont save you but itll put u 100X ahead of the other tube sites, so ull get raided last.lol
