The logic there simply is that in our opinion, the likeliness that this was for example an affiliate uploading tube videos from programs and got caught by mistake in a bigger dmca hit by one of those programs is too high.
If someone blatantly uses stolen content he usually gets hit by dmca quickly, is blocked fast and does not even get many videos up, so they are all removed then too.
But again, these are details we do not publish on purpose since it would mean people exploiting tubes could easier get around dmca stuff...

Thanks for the answer.
If you are doing that and assuming you are being honest it's a step in the right direction. Youtube is able to do the hard line approach so I think you guys should be able to as well. After one incident give them a warning and explain what will happen if they upload copyrighted content. Then if they get to three you should close the account and delete all their content. If you're worried about a DMCA by mistake then give them 30 days to respond or counter before removing all the content.
