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.
What some people refuse to get is Tubes don't survive on people who want it all for free. They survive on $$$$.

But finding an excuse for failure is easier than finding a solution.
