Yeah it's pretty bad. But look at it from their end:

Option A) Be a little more strict about honoring takedown requests, possibly get hit with $X,000,000 in damages by incorrectly hosting infringing content, or

Option B) Honor takedown requests unquestioningly, and incorrectly take down a tiny fraction of the site's content, which might have served like $20 in ads.

It's not a hard choice. Unfortunately.
