That was pretty much how YouTube started. Content ID wasn't part of their MVP.

- minimaxir 11y agoContent ID was added because of the legal issues YouTube faced.
- ljk 11y agowhy are there no legal issues with giphy.com?
- roymurdock 11y agoBecause they're not making enough money for anyone to care yet.
- rhino369 11y agoOne key difference I see is that GIPHY is clearly either uploading or categorizing/tagging/grouping pretty obviously copyrighted stuff and is doing so under their own name "team giphy." That's a huge risk because it probably breaches the copyright safe-harbor under DMCA. If they cut that out, they are probably fine.
