Actually, no. For a tube site to get inspected, they would first have to declare it a publisher and not a hosting service (hosts have exemptions). A 2257 inspection would then as a result almost entirely lead to a long and drawn out court battle, the type of the DoJ is trying to avoid.

Also, hardcore porn is boring, and doesn't make the media get all giddy. "Site shut down for distributing legal hardcore porn" is a boring headline. "Most popular child porn art site shut down in massive sweep" is a much more positive thing.

You should know, not everything is done just to satisfy the laws, but also to satisfy the intents and desires of those who have power.
