Who would be stupid enough to acquire you if all of your content is illegal? Your business model makes no sense. And yes, you will be liable for any illegal activity that took place while YOU owned the site.
And you will lose in court because there is no defense against copyright infringement. You stole their shit, you know you stole their shit, they know you stole their shit and it's a $150,000 default judgement PER offense.
Do the math.
On the other hand content deals are so crazy cheap right now, you could do a bulk deal with some guys and legally get the rights for like $1 - $5 a scene.
