The problem for me is I need to find trades to replace these guys and it extremely difficult. Try suing an offshore shell company and good luck with that. When guys switch to legal to illegal they are going to hide their ass and it going to be extremely expensive to sue all over, not just in the US. Most likely most will be offshore anyway. By the time, if their lawyers are successful, it will be extremely expensive and the only thing they get is a shell company. Good luck with to sue a guy from Russia or Ukraine in their own back yard. By the time they are suing the son of a bitch, the look around and it like 'fuck now another 1000 illegal tubes get pop up'.
That's the issue, more freesites is becoming illegal tube. It like a cancer that spread fast and if you can't contain it you'll fail. For people not in the US, flashing a lawsuit is not going to scare anyone. Try suing all the illegal tube now say 2000? Now try suing 20,000 tubes, see how expensive that going to be. Beside criminal are much smarter these days so chances of them being successful will be minimal.

You can sue anyone in the world... if they don't respond you get a judgement and take them down at the registrar, host and all else fails, ICANN level.
You would need the money to defend yourself, if you don't defend yourself, you lose. If you do, and you are pirating, you will be forced to pay/settle and be forced to use digital finger printing. If you fail to comply, they will take the judgement to the registrar/icann and shut your site off.
You don't have to sue them all, the ones that have already happened have shaped things greatly. We can already see piracy laws/rules being applied throughout the world, as more legal cases come up, the hammer will come down more and more.
We will never stop piracy, it will always happen... but you can force people to play by the rules which do apply to every person registering a domain in the world.
