I don't see why this same tactic can't be used against programs that support tube sites. It seems to me that a lot of these tube sites have no way to upload content or don't post content when you do upload it. Even if you send a dmca notice and the content is removed it will likely reappear under a different url on the site. Its not a great leap from there to assume it is the sites owners who are actively involved in the theft/copyright infringement. From there you can then show a pattern of theft/ copyright infringement to the programs that are supporting the tube site in question.
Does the program then not become culpable in some way for the theft if they continue to support the site financially?
Most programs have sections in their TOS's expressly forbidding this theft/copyright infringement and by not enforcing it would they not become an active participant in this theft?
