After that, I tried to work with premium sites, I made a few sales and got a few checks but nothing breath-taking, but it helped a few times.
Nowadays, I have one subreddit with 25K users and one amateur tube website where I post 'rescued' and 'old but still worth to watch' videos from the net. So far only one guy reported one video and asked to be removed, but a few people told me that I am stealing content...
Is this really stealing? And how come it's okay if that video is on pornhub, xhamster, xvideos, etc? Pornhub created a porn emporium based on stolen content and where would they be without it?
So what are your thoughts about this? You can steal if you can steal enough?

Copyright infringement is a criminal offence and there is a difference between downloading a video for your private "collection" and re-uploading it on a website.
Rescued videos? Lol... rescued from what?? You are not "rescuing" anything by publishing it without the permission from the copyright holder/author.
The fact that someone publishes his works does not mean he gives permission for others to use his work.
