The easiest way to get rich is on the back of someone else. Bill Gates can tell you all about this. If you don't want to do it on the back of someone else, the second easiest way is through loopholes in the law. Tens -- perhaps hundreds -- of billions of dollars have been made with loopholes.
One way to shut up 3/4 of the webmaster community would be for these big tubes to launch an affiliate program with white label tubes. Most webmasters would then be OK with things and even willing to look the other way. The content producers would still be fucked, but that is a much smaller percentage of folks.
That's the reality of how the world (and this industry) works.
