There is a business model in there somewhere (if even only for a thug with a baseball bat) to fix this problem.

Suggestions?

If you have the resources hire a few people to do nothing but look for your content and refer to your legal department from there.

Another option, perhaps open some sort of incentive program for people to report infringing material to you. This would require some thought. Of course you would not want people to upload stuff just so that they could collect the incentive. But the idea does have some potential I would think.
