People have always shared porn, made remixes and reencoded videos. The usenet was always full of this. Due to the nerdy character and the special knowledge that you usually need to have to access the usenet, it did not catch on in such a large scale.
The tube sites are only a medium for the surfers that was missing. And they are going nowhere, either.
I have started to experiment with some of the tubes. All of the ones I tried monitor all of their uploads. Why do they do that? Some do it to protect themselves from child pornography. Others will not approve any user uploads and only upload their own videos. Unfortunately, the transparency in this system is zero, both for webmasters and surfers. I thought for example that tube8 is filled with stolen content. But they did not approve a single one of my uploads, which means they are either uploading their own DVD rips or use licensed content. And I simply don't have a way to know.
What people are missing is that a market instrument should be suitable for the audience that visits the site. As I explained above, surfers expect from tube sites to find uploaded video scenes. If you upload 30 second clips to your tube, you do not offer the surfer what they expect.
