Re: So what?
"youtube would need to hire 24,000 people (400 hours of video uploaded each minute)"
Not necessarily. They can have some automation to flag potentially copyrighted content plus anyone can flag any content they think is their copyright and this would also go for human review. Also if there is a 2-hour movie, it won't take a human reviewer the entire 2 hours to understand that it's copyrighted. So it would require considerably less than 24,000 people to do the reviewing.
It's not that they can't it's that they choose not to
