The content producers should file DMCA notices with the hosts if they don't want their content there.

It seems like it would be in the interest of producers to register their works in well-known repositories so that viewers can have a high degree of confidence that the content they are viewing has the claimed provenance.

If you even know it's there. Is a Facebook video with a million view likely to cross your particular feed? Especially if it's in another country? Especially if someone took pains to remove identifying characteristics?

YouTube seems like a pretty well known repository to me ...

If youtube could provide DMCA tools to the everyman then things will get interesting. If Google could tell me when and where my video is being pirated I could see this be a HUGE boon to their content distribution system. Everyone would want to distribute with them.
