There is a difference.
I do not base my ethics in this business on mainstream or any other factor than what is the acceptable standard of this business. If I were to base what is ethical in the porn business based on my non-adult values, most of the thieves would be dead already, as I don't consider human life very valuable when that human steals from me, as they are also stealing from my family. In the real world, and if I catch you inside my house, that is punishable by death. Luckily for all of you and unfortunate for me, there is a difference between the two.

there is two problems with that copyright infringement will never and has never been theft
your talking about out and out censorship, the blanket removal of all the videos of a persons account (something which even youtube does not do)
while at the same time working in an industry that only exists because of 1st ammendment.
without that protection you would be hauled off to jail on pimping and pandering charges.
it two faced at best.
btw since your also argueing that TOS should supercede the law
would you support the right of a tube site owner to put a term of service condition that says if you use the service to view content you claim a copyright too, you must put all your content in the public domain.
if TOS can supercede things like free speech, why should a tube site have a right to basically turn the takedown notice into a trap that forces you to put your shit into the public domain.
