Maybe have a post upload agreement from the surfers stating that they accept liability if the video is in fact infringing before going on your network. Imho, Robbie does have a good idea for separate affiliate and surfer upload pages. I think many independent producers, myself included would jump at this chance if given the opportunity.

I also agree with the upload my hand approach. I do the same thing Robbie does with tube-erotique, although my tube is much, much smaller.
We follow counter nofitifaction rules as well as all other things in DMCA or related to it.

We also tell uploaders that they are liable for videos they upload that they have no rights to.
