So true.
If I were going to operate a video hosting site, I would forbid accounts that are owned or funded by corporations and governments. It would be strictly private citizens hosting their own productions. No music videos, movies, or TV shows unless they're the poster's own work.
Anyone filing a copyright claim would have to prove the poster was violating "fair use" principles. No automatic takedowns unless the poster clearly uploaded copyrighted material verbatim without adding their own critique or commentary. No "three strikes, you're out." The offender would have to show an established history of copyright infringement and blatant disregard for the law to be banned.
