People can host their own stuff. Simple. Don't host content you don't know the origin of and can't document you've got the right to do so.

Aha, so, your solution to people uploading copyrighted content to youtube, is to force them to go back to hosting their content on their own PC, like... Napster and Bit Torrent?
How exactly would that solve the problem? Is there a step 2 where they also cut all the cables into and out of Europe?
They could catch the obvious stuff like people uploading Hollywood videos, but the reality is that humans will let tons of stuff through, and also accidentally block stuff that should have been allowed.
There's far more copyrighted content than a human can even view or listen to in a lifetime. There's just no way for a human to know what's in violation and what isn't.
