A much easier way would be to separate hosts from publishers. The loop hole in the DMCA was set up to give hosting companies immunity on what their clients or users were uploading. The problem is publishing companies using that law as a loop hole.
If you're hosting content you don't know about, you don't publish it.
If you publish you have to know what you're publishing is legal.
Now get that one past Youtube and a lot of other similar companies.
