We already delete a massive number of fair use images daily simply being a screenshot of XYZ singer or ABC video game. Are we to think this won't happen with video? Are the administrators of the various projects ready to deal with such an increased number of copyrighted pages that will require deletion? The only way to ensure that this isn't a problem would to be to extend our fair use provisions in the various projects, allowing

copyrighted

media to be added more freely. We already see people taking the easy way out and uploading copyrighted images of famous people rather than

attempting

to acquire them freely.

It strikes me that this is a very fatalistic view.

Actually, it is not quite as fatalistic as it would seem. I raised this issue on Techcruch regarding the sample Naruto video. I could easily have used the Xbox 360, the polar bears from National Geographic, or the long-awaited and much anticipated Spice Girl reunion tour (they aged well, didn't they?).
