If these attributes are met then we would define that as an illegal tube, one which should be either encouraged to go legit or be shut down.
So what about services like Cloudflare, that 99% of the big illegal tubes use. Would it not make sense to put some pressure on them?

They refuse to act on DMCA complaints with their lame excuse:

Please be aware CloudFlare is a network provider offering a reverse proxy, pass-through security service. We are not a hosting provider. CloudFlare does not control the content of our customers.
Their IP is serving illegal content, they help the pirates monetize their stolen content by serving it faster and securing up-time and they diffuse who the real owners are.
