As long as filestube does not upload the copyright infringed files itself knowingly and removes the violating links in a timely manner,it is protected under DMCA and any other applicable Copyright laws such as EU Directive or the Polish Copyright act( Home country to the parent company of Filestube.com). In reality as a files search engine, filestube has no more liability than Google has, toward the search results it presents to the public.
But filestube is just a Link Aggregator, the damages to the copyright owner will be minimal as long as the links found on filestube are all dead already.
Filestube has a international scope and does not operate solely in U.S, furthermore it does not store any content on U.S soil, so FBI or U.S customs wont be able to do much about it, if the situation and their operational model remains just as it is.
