Just because the swiped vids aren't sold individually doesn't mean profit isn't made from them. But it's not really about the profit that the non-creators are making...its the customers their taking away from the people that worked to produce the video.
Now here comes the lame argument "any exposure is good exposure"....

Profiting (cams, dating, etc) from having stolen shit on your site isn't the same as actually selling that stolen shit. And since the sites are filled with "user uploaded" content, or stuff provided by sponsors or from content they've licensed, well basically they're free and clear given the DMCA crapolla... It would have to be proven that they were doing the actual stealing.
