they are in fact supposed to put 2257 notice on every video they upload
you can also get court order the records of tube sites to find out who is uploading your content with out permission and sue them
you have to go after users of tubes not owners if you want to get any ground

Yes, you are correct. But my point is that no one is safe, because there are many laws. Not just 2257. The 2257 is basically designed for you, not to break other laws, which can get you to jail for even longer time
I'm not a laywer, but I'm pretty sure the top laywers on YouTube or other user submitted hosts have discussed these issues, regarding sexually related uploads. Even if there are no nudity, it could still violate the other US laws about childporn.
So as a hoster, you have to ensure it won't happen. All the smut not allowed on YouTube, is now a business model for porntubes, and they are not exceptions from the same issues. If some hoster ignore the laws, no matter which law, then there is a reason for "going after" him too.
These issues has nothing to do if its a tube or not, but how its operated regarding spreading some specific content. Torrent sites.. even wikipedia is no exception
