The megaupload principals would not be in jail today if they had used something like this. Safe harbor simply isn't anything like 100%. If it were, youtube wouldn't have developed and be using a similar system. We can agree the folks at youtube know what they are doing, right? They are paying the cost to run their system (and the cost to insure it) because checking the "do not post" list protects them.

Come to think of it, has there been a case yet that safe safe harbor, designed for ISPs, applies to tubes at all? A tube site's lawyer would certainly argue that it SHOULD apply, but has any court ruled that it DOES? Youtube doesn't appear to be confident that it does.
