"Shed loads of content on YouTube is pirated"

I do not disagree. Take it down and be done with it.

But SciShow, PBS Space Time, Brainy Dose and shedloads of others are perfectly legitimate and very interesting.

What is asked is not to close YouTube, it's to clean it up. And as I pay for my films, I see no problem in outing the pirates. On the other hand, I see a very big problem in the rampant abuse of the DMCA that YouTube exerts absolutely no control over. So out with the fucking DCMA and in with proper copyright control.
