Signupdamnit,

There is a policy, but it is a bit more complicated, I am not sure on the details myself. I think it is 3 strikes though not all content is taken down right away, it depends a bit on other factors, like if an account uploaded 100 videos over a 12 month period, and 3 get dmca'd over that time he might be banned but content is not removed. The logic there simply is that in our opinion, the likeliness that this was for example an affiliate uploading tube videos from programs and got caught by mistake in a bigger dmca hit by one of those programs is too high.

If someone blatantly uses stolen content he usually gets hit by dmca quickly, is blocked fast and does not even get many videos up, so they are all removed then too.

But again, these are details we do not publish on purpose since it would mean people exploiting tubes could easier get around dmca stuff...
