They have now managed to turn that into a net profit by means other than charging for content.

It will be reproduced in porn, it's only a matter of time. The fact that you can let people upload stolen shit and not face legal action just makes this easier.
Yeah, you can purchase content cheaply for a tube but thats not what people want to see. They want to see scenes from the popular sites they see all over the net who don't sell their content to anyone, so it gets stolen.

And, there are no users uploading content. Its just a legal loophole. I can see a place for tubes in the industry, but certainly not based around stolen content. I think tubes should have free and premium sections where studios can showcase their movies and get paid based upon how popular they are with the members (or something similar).
