you completely missed the point of the question about legality
in the case of the host site (like xhamster for example), they are protected by dmca law because the video is "user uploaded", so as long as they take it down if given notice they are supposedly fairly safe
in the case of a scraper site, the webmaster himself sets up the scraper, so regardless of what the site he is scraping is doing about dmca, that doesn't change the fact that the video is appearing on the scraper site as a function of the webmaster himself "scraping" it, seems to me that legally that would put the scraper site in a much more responsible position than the host site that is "user uploaded"
