Unfortunately, the language of the DMCA makes it so they have to send a DMCA notice. The tube site then takes down the "user uploaded conent", and have then complied. You can't just jump right to suing someone without taking the proper steps first.

It's obviously a loop hole. It's also obvious that "user uploaded" sometimes, if not most often, means that the tube site themselves are doing it. You could buy a trial membership at any major sponsor, and have your outsourced worker ripping and uploading movies and it would hardly cost anything at all.

That's the problem. Either DMCA needs to be changed, or google needs to lose to Viacom over youtube. Until then, it's kind of tricky.
