As to tubes, you sue the UPLOADER for damages. (which you could base on the number of views said tube site is reporting) I'm sure that one could get the uploaders information by going though legal channels. I'm also sure that you yourself have record of who uploaded what. (what IP's it came from etc.) You even have verified email etc. Since I believe this to be the case and your saying that you are NOT backing these illegal uploads, then I assume that you would be willing to give such information over freely to those of us that can PROVE ownership of said content being infringed upon?
You have no reason to deny that information correct? I mean, what would be the point of protecting a thief basically fencing stolen good? I know you will try and come back with it a privacy issue with the uploaders... Really? What are they going to come and sue you if you gave that information out? Do you give that information out for any other reasons like marketing etc?
If your not protecting this thieves then make a stand publicly and help us that are being torn down by their actions.

Gerco,
I already said this on this forum before, to steve. As long as I can legally give you the info (as you said, privacy laws) which means you will have to subpoena it or I would break a law... And yes, OBVIOUSLY they will sue me? You just sued them and the only reason you could is because I gave out their info without a court order.. Why do you think Steve has to subpoena hosts to get info on the IPs of infringers?!?!
And no, we do not sell our member database...
So, just as I follow DMCA law, I follow privacy laws and I follow other laws which have to do with tubes...
And we are one of the few people that follow DMCA to the t, except that we do not use stupid excuses like malformed DMCA notices...
