tubes are piracy sites - as are file lockers that are fed by blogs and forums where the links to the pirated content are published mostly by affiliates of the file locker commission programs which reward people for stealing the most popular content they can.
why we as an industry haven't launched a class action suit against Oron, Uploaded.to, Netload.in etc is beyond me - these file lockers run under the belief that they are protected by the safe harbor provided by the DMCA for 'service providers'. I don't think it would be very hard to show a court that file lockers are much more than 'service providers' as are the blogs and forums. you don't know until somebody actually makes the argument in a court of law.
