I know Harris argues against Google automating enforcement, but like Google does have an index of all of the text on the Internet including knowledge of when the Google Bot first saw that text, as well as auto-generated transcripts of the videos on Youtube, right?
The problem is there needs to be a threshold for how much copying is plagiarism, and how sources need to be cited, and how transformative a work needs to be, and all of that can be very subjective. I don't trust YouTube to make rules that are specific enough to be consistently applied or to apply them fairly, given their track record with copyright enforcement. Neither does hbomberguy apparently.
