No Mario for you

So with the coming of Little Big Planet it seemed to me that this may be the start of a new era of user made content actually being important on the console scene. I mean its no secret that there's already a huge amount of people creating user made content on the pc front. Alas first Guitar Hero 4 deleted some user made songs because they were Mario and Zelda tunes. Also there has been many levels deleted in LBP because they were copies of Mario or whichever game. Now, obviously this is for legal protection but I think limiting user made content so freely is going to make growing a community on the console side just that much more difficult.

I don't know if there's anything these companies can do to avoid deleting any content that may be a knock off, like having these sort of things hosted on user hosted servers or something. I've never seen any user made content deleting on pc's like the old dbz mod for half-life and the like. I would really like to see titles in the future to put more effort into providing console players the tools to make unique content, like Valve does for their pc games. If they can do that and somehow avoid banning anything that resembles Mario I think user made content can be successful and popular on consoles. Especially considering the amount of people playing on consoles these days, and the growing online communities on the 360 and ps3 (ok mostly just 360).
