I don't think the system is technologically broken -- I just think companies should be subject to big fines for wrongly claiming ownership.
I mean, fines like $5,000 per false claim.
That will stop abuse of it, real fast.

The ideal case would be someone reposting a trailer or a music video to Youtube. The content is identified as being owned by a partner. Now the partner gets the money and the poster still gets views.
Cases like the OP thus cause a problem: the majority of the content is 3rd party and free.
Note: I'm not defending CID or saying its a good thing. I just think your proposed solution won't fix the issue at hand.
At the moment it's a terribly one-sided process that allows big media companies to profit for absolutely no reason. Fining companies for approving disputed claims in error seems like a pretty good solution.
I just don't think any sort of band-aid (like a fine for example) is the real solution. I think the solution is to redo the law.
The article says that if a TV network's real, legitimately copyrighted feed, that they are correct in telling Youtube is copyrighted uses public domain video in some parts (which doesn't mean their particular feed based on it isn't still copyrighted), then other videos that use the same public domain video (from the original source, not off of the copyrighted feed) are identified as being the copyrighted source.
