the tube owners upload most of the content themselves so i'm sure they have a way of getting around that, possibly through a proxy server so it would be a huge waste of money.

I don't see why it would cost so much to subpoena a tube site owner to turn over all of the records when you provide them with a big list of the videos that were stolen and uploaded. You then shake down the list no different then they do with the torrents. If the user ued a proxy you just move on to the next one. The point is that you turning up the heat on them, you forcing them to comply with the courts or face the legal consequences and you pissing off their members because the tube site is turning over their information. shake the tree enough some apples will fall out.
