except that arguement is total bullshit because the if you can PROVE that is what they are doing the safe harbor and this exception does not apply.

What everyone should be looking at is to see if there's any other possible industries where this business model of getting everyone's copyrighted content, using "user submission" to get it online, pleading ignorance as to any of it being copyrighted material, only having to take it down when you've been asked to, and making tons of money off of it. I'm not sure if there's other industries with this kind of business model but hell, see how well it works for the big tubes?

your bitching because the concept of innocent until proven guilty
the fundamental principle protects people from being railroaded makes it difficult to procecute them.
of course that same principle keeps you out of jail when little jim steals his dad credit card to gain access to your site, so the question comes down would you want principle struck down for everyone including yourself.
