I also believe its the illegal site owners themselves in most cases whom are uploading the stolen/illegal content... but heres the ?... they get their content from Torrents/Forums which is user submitted stuff... thus wouldnt they still be protected under dcma if they are simply downloading/uploading this stuff to their tube/site?

Kinda like the example of leeching/spidering content from another site...

Sure he is uploading the content himself but as far as he could know this stuff is ok to be shared thus making it ok to use or at least thus covering his ass with dcma. I mean if it was being shared elsewhere it must be ok to use/share. Like couldnt he pass the buck (problem) onto the original place/user that uploaded the content in the first place.

Sorry if my post goes in circles, trying to word it right.
