Around 50 per week.

Copyright Removal Requests ? Google Transparency Report

Obviously more would be issued directly to XHamster but you also do not know how much content this site has licensed.

The large tubes license huge volumes of content, much more than you can imagine.

I'm not saying XHamster are totally clean, but I think most people over estimate the level of infringement on most of the big tubes that do license huge amounts of content.
I don't think a company like VCX would authorize entire movies to be on xhamster. Right now, VCX's Debbie Does Dallas and The Legend of Lady Blue are on the website. There is a difference between a company putting up scenes that are 12 minutes or less, on their tube channels, and a entire movie being
on a website. I believe that the reason there is not more takedown notices is that anti-piracy organizations are not finding all the unauthorized videos. One of the things that hurts anti-piracy efforts is that xhamster will not allow watermarks for videos that are not put up by a porn company. The uploaders then either crop out the watermark or blur the watermark. If someone working for a anti-piracy organization doesn't have the same level of knowledge as I do at identifying videos, they may not know what movie the video came from.
