Hey there.
I have been experimenting with Tor for quite some time now, and I have read
and watched a lot of presentations by the Tor team.
Some information you might find useful:
1. Viewtube won't work (viewtube loads plugins from your OS, that could not
respect your proxy settings, so Tor Browser blocks that from happening).
2. Installing ANYTHING in Tor Browser is dangerous, because it makes it easy
for your browser to be fingerprinted and followed around on the web, even
using Tor. Don't do so, if you need strong anonymity.
3. I believe you might find useful and interesting some presentations about
Tor. here are some links, the first one was amazing, others were very
revealing too!

Some of this stuff is available on internet archive (you can try to find them
there, if you can't or don't want to use youtube).
Anyway, I don't think we should use Tor as a way to watch copyrighted
material anyway.... Tor was meant to protect people privacy freedom and
rights. By taking for free what someone expected to get money from, you are
harming that person's right of work and freedom of choice. It also gives bad
image to Tor and makes it harder to fight for changes in Public Domain laws.
Please, I am not saying you are a bad person for watching copyrighted
material, I am just saying that it actually harms you own cause more than it
helps. You could try to think about it and maybe find alternatives =) I would
be happy to help, since I did so myself some time ago.
As for keeping your copy of Tor Browser safe and secure, from time to time
delete the folder, clean cache and history, and extract Tor again from the
TAR file. It's a good policy to do so =)
