Having moderators approve each video would be a failure. How would they know what is stolen and what isn't? There is no pop culture expert in the entire world that could do this job with a decent level of accuracy.
Sure, they could deny a Simpsons clip from being posted... but what about the professional looking short film uploaded by a film school student? Is everything that looks professional going to get the axe?
The system they have in place now.... The system that eliminates the porn.... the users flag the video and after a certain number of flags a YouTube mod then checks it out. Users obviously do not flag clean videos that are mere copyright violations.
