There is no way to tell who uploaded the particular video and whether it is a legal upload or not.
Also, there are companies that actually let affiliates watermark their videos with a custom watermark. This again doesn't mean the upload is illegal, even though the content is well known.

So you are suggesting that a website shouldn't understand some basic common sense? The lawyers get paid to twist and distort the reality, this we all understand. You're argument clearly has some twist.
Something like this will be one component of a larger story, with many facts and details making each website a little bit different. In general, pre-screening 100% of material is a risky approach. It shows exercise of control over the website and the user uploads. It's not as cut and dry as anyone who is doing it would like to believe.
