YouTube Piracy Filter?

We all know about YouTube and have benefited from the hours of entertaining video selection on the site. Of course with an upload network such as YouTube's, it is only natural that people would post copyrighted material on the site. The fight against piracy has been ongoing for almost a century now. I still remember the day when Napster was brought down over the piracy issue. And now, it seems that YouTube is facing some of the same problems. YouTube was ordered to remove 100,000 illegal videos and asked to put up more stringent filtering system against copyrighted material.

The problem with piracy is that in the internet age of today, it is near impossible to stop the spread and open access of these information. However, due to the pressure of large corporations - i.e. Disney, Time Warner, Sony, NBC, etc. - YouTube is putting up an effort to stop the uploading of copyrighted material. Of course, YouTube says they don't have the necessary technology and the major corporations say YouTube isn't using the available technology. So the question in this epic battle is will copyright technology be able to keep up with the ever growing network of file sharing?
