Of course, it won't help against malicious or stupid people, but it would be an option for "the willing" (not the coalition of...), and it would make copyvio detection easier when used.
It's also an easy way to make the upload process client asyncronous.. the HTTP upload process could have a workqueue and perform the transfers directly from the storage backend system.
