None of this is a perfect science, however there will be pressure applied to sites that do not implement policies and procedures to properly police their user uploads - especially in the context you described.

Many ISP's use transparent proxies, caching content and forwarding it to users in a similar way to a CDN. I've considered the CDN issue and I am yet to be convinced that the CDN is the correct vector of attack. I think the primary host is where we need to apply the pressure, especially with limited resources and the fact that people can switch CDNs if one is cut off - in that case the content remains on the originating server and nothing is gained.
