Let's get real: if you allow someone to upload pornography, then you know it's illegal since none of the uploaders will have rights to upload that. Hence, any tube owner allowing upload of content is basically a thief or at least works together with thieves  |
that doesn't wash - that's the reason you aren't seeing lawsuits against tube site owners - because courts aren't going to buy the argument that the tube owner knows what's going on and is therefore a copyright infringer. it's obvious to you and me but not to a court - Viacom is going to spend tens of millions of dollars arguing that point amongst others in its lawsuit against YouTube/Google.
