Sue him! the tube site will be subpoenaed for that users information. See what rabbit hole that leads you down. If you sue 100s of users it will be interesting to see what kind of information you get back from the site. The person uploading the content is breaking the law, no question, no one can contest that. Sue the users, make the site produce the documents and then see what you have.

I can only speak for myself, but I simply do not have the funds to chase rabbit holes. I'd love to, but I don't roll like that.

Of course that's why it exists, because you can't police it all. I understand that. But that is not what we are talking about.
You
may have the rights to those videos. So what I'm saying is, how do you know if you don't look at them? How do you know someone is not loading child porn onto your server? How do you know if you had a license to my videos or not? How do you know if you don't look at them?
Do you just assume you have a license to every video in the world until you are told otherwise?
It comes down to two options, and we all know which one is the accurate one:
1) You don't police the video at all until a video is flagged by a copyright owner or a site user. In which case why do you buy a license at all for any content?
2) You look at every video in search for the ones you have a license for. If you have a license, you leave it. If you don't and it's not on a partner account, you know it's stolen, pretend it isn't, and leave it anyway until someone sends you a notice.
So why look at all right?
In a word, that is
unethical in every sense of the word, and you know it.
That is stealing until you get caught, which carries no consequences because of one flawed law. It's hard to say you are not a thief when you operate in this manner.
If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a duck.
Don't bother replying, I have read enough to see it's business as usual for the pirate kings.
