I think with safe-harbor, the model in many places is forgiveness rather than permission. The burden in on the rights holder to remove content and, as you say, there's so much content produced that you can see why they essentially dragnet their copyright enforcement.
But the end result is the same, the model is broken and needs to be reevaluated.
