sure would be costly , perhaps as high as 50 cents per year per site.
so the site starts with licienced content. Gets approved and then goes on their way. Which makes your 5 pictures to start totally ineffective. The only way this would be effective is to make it an on going thing, or a 100% monitoring thing.

Add to that by doing this they would open themselves to a liability for all the sites they fail to catch (because of random luck), the additional cost in legal fees to defend against those new liabilities.

and it would cause a hell of a lot more than 50 cents a site

second you are censoring the user generated content marketplace which was exactly what the safe harbor provision was intended to stop.
