Since tubes sites profit from these user submitted videos they should be required by law to verify that each user has a valid 2257 notification...yes this might be inconvenient, but I find it inconvenient as hell to find a full length video of ours that some user has uploaded to a tube site without a license

They shouldn't be required to verify just like YouTube doesn't have to verify that you own the video you are uploading. In the end, you are responsible for what you upload under the law for sure. Not that many will ever be charged, they want the big boys.
I know it sucks get get robbed, I just don't know any good way to stop this shit from happening without breaking the internet.
