It should change where if some one wants to put something on someones tube site, they should submit it to tube owners along with 2257 for approval. If its too much work for the owners, tough, work at Burger King.

With all do respect, that's a bit irrational. Even someone as big as YouTube with far more staff than tube sites could not even meet that type of demand. Still, that's a bit hypocritical especially for an online industry that got it's start by scanning and posting Playboy and Hustler pictures.
Here is why your example is flawed. Say Company A isn't making any money and uploads their videos to a tube site (as a regular user) and then turns around and sues the tube saying they do not have the legal right to display the content. Nice payday for a failing business. I am right there with you that if the tube owner knows for a fact the content copyright is violated that the content should be removed immediately. But whats to stop other competitors from trying to invoke DMCA to have their competitors content removed from a site?
