No that's not what I said, I said that just under 5% of DMCA notices we receive copies of relate to tubes. I will also say that any analysis of the information contained in one of the largest DMCA repositories on the planet tubes account for a very small percentage of overall piracy.
Your assertion is that tubes are "the biggest stolen content sites out there". This is factually wrong, there is no evidence to support it and you have not provided any evidence to support it. You made it up based on assumption, if you didn't make it up based on an assumption them please explain your resoning.

OTOH, you can demonstrate with statistics that tube sites are drastically more popular than file lockers and porn piracy forums.

Saying that tubes are more popular is not the same as saying tubes are a bigger piracy problem. Let me explain why, most of the big tubes own or license significant amounts of content, only a portion of the content may be infringing, whereas almost all content on file lockers is infringing. So on a per visit basis the amount of infringing content watched on a tube is far smaller than the amount of infringing content downloaded from a file locker.
xhamster.com is approximately the 45th most visited site according to Alexa, Blogger is below it at approximately 48th. However Blogger attracts many more takedown notices than xhamster.
Tube sites are more popular, no doubt about it, but that does not in and of itself make them any more infringing than a file locker of any reasonable size.
