That's true. It even hosts lots of our copyrighted clips - usually softcore videos or softcore parts of hardcore videos, so I kinda know that first hand
I'd gladly put a promo page for our network on youtube with those same softcore clips, but you know, porn is OK only when it is stolen. Save God legit producer will go on and try to post his clips on youtube, or sell them through paypal etc. When it is stolen it is fine because it's "user submitted", but when you're trying to work with any of those big companies yourself to promote your clips directly, it's "porn OMG! ban ban ban".
However, I have to admit that it is certainly possible to remove all of our clips from youtube and make sure they never appear again there. I'm not doing it for various reasons (mostly because youtube is not the prime target since they do not allow hardcore, and also because on some of those clips they even display our network logo so we get at least some exposure from youtube), but that's certainly possible. If some tubes will appear that will start embedding our stolen clips en masse, I'll definitely put other matters aside and contact youtube to get this sorted out.
