I got an automated notice of a Copyright violation for a song I had added to my video through the YouTube interface, out of their own library of free songs.
Just how profitable does your business have to be before you can start hiring people? Apparently not even Google or Facebook or Apple have enough money to hire a bunch of minimum-wage help-desk employees to police content on their own sites.
Of course, we know it's not a matter of ability, but desire. They know people come to YouTube to be able to find whatever content they want. Content ID and their DMCA process is just paying lipservice to the idea that they are playing by the rules. They want this system. It keeps the new content churn high, which keeps users refreshing the page, which gets new ads served to them.
