If you have a paid employee doing the uploading of material you KNOW isn't yours, doesn't the DMCA go out the window?
Also, with regards to the "Premium Memberships" many of the sites now offer...taking credit card transactions to pay for stolen goods...isn't that just criminal?
Again, I am no lawyer. That just makes sense to me.

We can all agree that at one point these sites had to start with some content, people don't hang around empty sites... Did they have rights for that content.. did they upload it... hell if I know.. maybe they did start and grow overnight...
But proving in court that the tube sites uploaded the content and not a user requires proof of who uploaded the content... Or that there was no way possible that a user could have uploaded the content as the user has no means to do so.
Anyone willing to put up cash to drag this into court...?
As of yet all I have seen is people talking about the issue for what seem for ever..
Sending DCMA's having the content taken down only to have the content show backup on the site over time.
Round and round we go...
