Well, they could use the same things for copyrighted material as well. If they aren't named correctly folks can't find them, so they tend to have the names of the songs. Though, they don't allow user reports for copyrighted material. It has to be the copyright owner, even if you know for a fact it's not supposed to be there.
Either way, I guarantee you you'll find WAY more illegal music than porn there, because they make no effort to remove any of it themselves, though they know it's been requested to be removed numerous times before. All they have to do is make it so onerous for copyright holders to police it themselves, and enough time for the reporting process to be carried out, that there's always a copy of whatever anyone wants up there, and so people come there by the bazzillions and they rake in the dough.
