And all other tubes are not for free either. Though the surfer can watch the clips for free, tubes seem to be able to monetize advertising, cams, dating and other stuff offered on their sites.

Assume all content on tubes is published legally and licensed. I claim that this wouldnīt make any difference. The surfer will still prefer a tube to an oldfashioned paysite. So I think stolen content is a problem, but not the reason for surfers to prefer tubes.
