Yes, but only if that can be proved in a court of law. So realistically, no ones going to go through the trouble of trying to prove that. Sites can upload all the content they want.

You can't. In general, sales are declining for the entire porn industry and there is no breaking that trend. The only thing you can do is keep generating more and more traffic to compensate for worsening ratios.

The term "stolen content" in 2009, is like using the word "gay" back in the 1950's. Back then it meant something completely different. Similarly, "stolen content" means something completely different now, than it did back in 1998. Tubes can "steal" all the content they want and get away with it, so long as they respect DMCA requests.
