Mutt... frankly I am surprised you would say that given that you are always so spirited about copyright in all those tube threads, etc.

lawsuits against tubes and file sharing operations are for people with deep pockets, we still haven't seen one go the distance to a jury or judge, the DMCA's safe harbor is a tough nut to crack - Corbin Fisher's legal bills were $250,000 for their suit against Oron, without even going to trial.
When CBS/Viacom sued YouTube/Google for copyright infringement they had what I thought was smoking gun evidence, emails between YouTube's owners admitting that they needed to keep uploading copyrighted videos from the most popular shows to keep driving traffic. The lawsuit went nowhere, I think the judge ran CBS/Viacom out of court.
