They will never eliminate copyright infringement completely. We really need them to just get the US laws on this stuff clarified and stable.
It reminds me of PayPal's fraud issues. Very similar kind of risk management issue. Google should buy Slide just to get Max Levchin working on YouTube.
Like credit card processing maybe every company could have a "charge back ratio" type number that was regulated by a neutral third party. If more than 2% of your videos are infringing you get shutdown. I know there's a million reason that won't happen, but I think something like that might work. Infringement on a small scale is acceptable by all parties, it's the NFL outtakes with 1.5 million views that piss people off.
