I agree, it's just a matter of time before Hollywood comes looking for it's rights to more than 100 full movies here on DTube and we know what happens: they don't confiscate the stolen material, they confiscate the entire Hard Drive regardless of what else is stored on it.

I believe DTube can actually block that or at least give the source location to the authorities. In that case, only whoever is sourcing these copyright material will be confiscated and not dtube's storage files :) hopefully.
That is not how they have done it in the past; the FBI will move in and confiscate the entire drive containing the offending material. If your family pictures happen to be stored on the same drive, you can kiss them good bye. There are plenty of cases to study on this matter when they shut down web sites in the past. Kim Dotcom ring a bell? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Dotcom
I understand that, but if there were something illegal or copyright, DTube can actually take it off the servers. Only the hashes would be left on the blockchain, but the actual video files can be disconnected. If someone is still sourcing it, then it'll be their house that will get raided and their files, not DTube and their storage.
I'm afraid you don't get it. The authorities don't care if someone claims they wiped it; if it was on there once they can raid it, shut it down, confiscate it, and make sure it's gone. Stop using logic when dealing with an entity that needs a 74,800 page tax law to have an income. That entity does what ever it wants. If you read the Dotcom case; he got nailed for what OTHER people published. I'm not saying this will happen to DTube, but history teaches us that it is a possibility.
Every uploader has to consider that what ever they publish is subject to at least 3 sets of laws at any given moment. Greetings!
