I don't want to be negative when you're clearly so stoked about doing this.
I can't help thinking the only people that would benefit from a completely anonymous video upload service would be people that are uploading things they shouldn't be.
If the only information you intend to store is the actual video, trouble will find you. Someone WILL try to upload kiddie porn. What are you going to do if the FBI gives you a subpoena for the user information?
What are you going to do when people upload libelous and slanderous videos? Because if the person being slandered can't sue the user, I assume they would sue you for hosting the video. And since you don't intend to charge, how will you cover your legal fees?
What are you going to do when children start using it to bully one another? This is a serious issue that is causing a lot of countries to update their laws, making it illegal to host the content.
I suppose my point is, if this website ever gets off its feet and gets nearly as successful as you would like it to, there are some problems you need to be prepared to deal with.
Either it won't get big enough to cover your legal fees or it will get so big that you won't be able to sufficiently monitor what is being uploaded.
I see it as a "screwed if you do (make it work) and screwed if you don't (make it work).
Just my opinion. Might want to consult an attorney before starting this.

But I'm asking how. How can you promise complete anonymity, no logging, no tracking, and still supply the information they would want?
