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.
