First, I never even considered that you meant gallery in the traditional sense. Just sounds like that app I use all the time, ha! Second, I get that you are saying that this is some extra, additional, voluntary system - but I also don't see how that's possible. Copyright only exists as a legally recognized utility. Think about what you're saying. It would mean that YouTube is allowing people to say they should be empowered to direct action be taken with respect to some specific content that's been or could be uploaded by another, but it's not because that power is called copyright protection, through which the DMCA is the relevant scheme of copyright protection. It's because they just have some extra volunteer system that says if you want this taken down, they'll take it down. Maybe you need to explain the actual YouTube system to me better because I'm a lawyer and I can analyze the law well enough for myself.
