People for sure care about what's going on piracy wise with tubes... however what our Industry needs to accept is the law does and doesn't work in our favor.
What some tubes are doing is illegal... it's not user uploaded. To prove that you simply need to sue, go through discoveries, hope you get the info and you will probably win. This is a rather risky move though, if you're wrong - ouch.
Alternatively your option is use DMCA to your advantage. Several services in our Industry can help with this. monitor your content, auto send out take down notices, log everything... When one doesn't comply, take them to court - go through discoveries, find users aren't uploading the content and put them in the ground.
The problem is... most are complying, you can't sue when people comply. That's the bitch part of the law, unless you want to take some risk to prove the user upload - no law/act is being broken otherwise.
People have looked into it... very few have been able to do anything about it for a reason. I would expect more to come out as our Industry ups the technology that we use to monitor things.
