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?
Stealing is never OK ! To wit:

On all the tubes, reddits etc... there are two types of videos:

1) Shorter then 10 minutes and watermarked.
2) longer then 10 minutes and NOT watermarked.

#1) are legit ( promo videos)those feel free to embed and share to your heart desire
#2) are pirated and if you use them you will be just another thief
