A site like YouTube can only be viable if it agrees to take down any copyrighted material. They can ignore it to a certain extent by saying "There is so much uploaded to YouTube on any given day, there's no way we can effectively police it." However, due to this, I imagine they have said that they will take down any videos that are reported as breaking copyright.
If RTSoft (read, anyone) go to sue YouTube for hosting copyrighted material, and it comes out that YouTube have already been notified that the material was copyrighted (regardless of who notified them), they're dead in the water.
It's the only way they can remain viable; "We can't monitor it all, but we promise to take something down if someone lets us know it shouldn't be there." It may not seem fair to you, the end-user, but they have to do it to protect themselves.
I guess.
