It's certainly a nice idea at first sight, but an undeniable fact is that those tubes only have all this traffic because they have long, stolen videos. Replace all of it with video partner content and a majority of visitors will switch to the next tube with full videos.

There always has to be someone who gets ripped and fucked over for the tube business model to work. I can understand that companies investing millions in content try to protect it at all cost, but handing the short end of the stick to someone else doesn't solve the problem.

Snizzshare is a great example of a legal tube, but you'll never see it get as popular as redtube, megarotic and the usual suspects. It's because people like short clips, but they love full videos.
