Illegal tube sites - that sucks for the actual content owners. Good luck. Especially the long videos of 30 minutes length high quality content are not good for content owners.
You know, actually, Youtube has been sued for stealing content, too. I use Youtube's embedded music videos in my music fan site, but I like to link back to the original artist's web site, so they get some traffic there, too. I mean users upload interesting content. What about videotaped live concert shows and bootlegs that are not supposed to be there? Maybe the music artists want people to buy tickets, instead of people watching live tapings of music shows on Youtube for free.
The peer-to-peer applications such as Kazaa and Limewire have been the subject of much talks, as well. Torrents, mp3, warez, video files, free games, paysite password uploads and downloads - these are all subjects of much discussion and talks.
You say it's cheaper running a tube site. I think it is cheaper to run any site, actually. More and more hosting sites out there offer "unlmited bandwidth" for a cheaper price (than before).
I don't run a tube site, but I use Youtube's embedded videos. I think it's Youtube's problem if something on Youtube exists that should not be there. Youtube encourages webmasters to place Youtube's embedded videos on their sites. Youtube does not have much porn content. You can get full relatively high quality full music videos and live tapings of concerts on Youtube for free.
