I believe they do what you described, but it's not perfect. In order to do it, they need to know what a song sounds like and who owns that sound. If the owner hasn't uploaded it, then they can't take down copies. They also have the problem that the copyright on a certain song might have expired, and therefore one uploader can't claim copyright to every recording (but will try). Another thing is that they will sometimes catch someone for just having a snippet of a song in a video (fair use). The result is that they can't just take every matching video down, they have to hold it in dispute, which means it will stay up for a while.

I would say having some experience with the actual business of distributing music, that alot of distributors that are used to say, get your content on iTunes and the like en masse, do have the capability of allowing a service to 'sample' a song and do a lot of pre-checks of verification in that way. They could tap into that ecosystem for legitimacy. It certainly does get harder beyond that though.
