what you are doing is called a circular proof, it a fundamental logical falacy.

uuhhmm, no. It's simply because you dont know the routines and procedures when you find unlicensed content. You cant take a site like that down with no warning
Let me describe the flow
Some user with a tube account get their hands on some content
Said user uploads the content to a tube
<- here the USER comits a crime
Tube start to convert the video to their format
Tube PUBLISH the content and make it avalible
<- here the TUBE comits a crime
Copyright holder finds out about their content being on the Tube and notify the Tube
The Tube now have two ways to deside on
a - take the content down
<- Tube is now in the Green again
b - take it to court
<- If tube lose the case, they must take the content down, OR THEN the site can be shut down
THAT is the only reason ILEGAL tubes are still online.
Now back to the Viasat Youtube case - its STILL being investigated if Youtube is doing ENOUGH to prevent ilegal content being uploaded.
IF they agree that Youtube do to little about this, Youtube have two doors again
a - new procedures for upload
b - close youtube as we know it today
