Of course the owners of the copyrighted content aren't uploading it themselves. Just because others are doing it doesn't make it legal though. The people who -are- uploading the content are infringing on the copyright, which is illegal. Perhaps you've heard of piracy when it comes to music, movies, games, and software. It's no different with porn.
It's just not a risk that you want to take. Say for example, you upload a video from Brazzers, and stamp your sites URL in the corner of the video. Now they know -exactly- who to file charges against. They'll have more money, and better lawyers than you do. At the very least they'll have enough muscle to get your host to suspend your site for hosting infringing material. That's less likely with the grainy cell phone type videos I assume you are talking about, but it's still not the best thing to do.
It appears you are already doing this though, and don't want to be told that it's wrong. So really, do whatever you want, we're just trying to help you by saying that no, it is not ok to do, and that it's a bad idea. If it's not yours, or you don't have permission to post it, then don't.
Good luck.
