In my recent experience Youtube is still doing that with regards to the contentID system, the "takedown" method depends on whoever has registered the particular content. The problem is that the contentID systems seems to grab anything that isn't a short sound byte of someone talking, thus lots of videos are getting contentID matches and having audio disabled or some advertisement put on. The first person to jump through hoops is the video uploader, then the baton is passed on to the copyright claimant so that they can jump through some counter hoops. It's a highly abused and mindfucked system.
I assume that when Giganews and Highwinds take down content, they do it for ALL of their servers? I've yet to use a server outside of AW so I'm not really on the up and up about their incompletes.
