do you really think an adult tube site will do that, especially for a "jackass" who is uploading just to screw with them.
they will hand over your ip address and the exact time you uploaded in a second.

Maybe but it's still very rare even in that case that the uploader would get fucked. The website is ultimately responsible for allowing the content to be published and if it's allowing numerous instances of illegal content to be published, the chances are the company sueing them would rather just shut the site down than file a shitload of different lawsuits against all the different uploaders - more expensive in both time and money. Besides, if you shut the site down, the uploaders can't upload any more (not to that site, at least).
Having said that, if an individual could be proven to be uploading illegal content regularly - large amounts of it - then I guess that might be different. But usually when individuals are guilty of doing that they get a slap on the wrist from the police, rather than an anal raping from a lawyer.
