I voted "maybe." If they can't control the pirated content then they should, yes.
Youtube seems to do a fairly decent job. You don't see a lot of porn stay on there because they actively remove it. There are issues with music and movie piracy but in many cases they are actually sharing revenue with providers. For the longest time they had a limit of 10 minutes on movies as well which helped to prevent someone from sharing a two hour movie so easily. Youtube has a system whereby they suspend accounts after so many violations and they have measures in place to help prevent repeated abuse. If the large pirate tubes became more like Youtube this would be much less of an issue.
Limiting user submitted content to no more than 5 minutes for the first 30 days and 10 videos submitted (whichever is longest) would be a great start. Then perhaps raise the limit to 10 minutes per video thereafter.
There have always been things they could have been doing to stop it. I think most of us know that the truth is they simply don't want to stop it and that's why it continues....
