Now I'm not saying that's where the majority of content is coming from, you're right it's probably MOSTLY the site owners doing it. Never the less, people most certainly do exist that upload for the cool factor.

If "everyone knows" were only a reliable standard to use in court, you might well be able to get tube sites shut down ... Why, however, are they almost without fail all still standing it they're so obviously illegal?

The point I'm trying to make is that the way the law is written right now, most tube sites are not illegal.
