One of the great ironies about this 'tube' business: if you are running what many people call a "legit" or "legal" tube (i.e. one where you upload only licensed content, and don't permit user uploads) then your legal liability is actually greater (on its face, at least) than someone running a tube that does allow user uploads, because you don't enjoy the same protections under the 'safe harbor' clauses in DMCA and CDA.
In other words, by making an effort to be more responsible about copyright and intellectual property, you wind up with greater liability regarding 2257, obscenity and (ironically enough) even copyright itself, because you cannot claim that you don't control the content of the site.
Nice, huh?
