I'm as happy as anyone to screw over Facebook, but this is actually really bad.
I run a forum with ~1000 users. It costs us ~$60 a month and the corporate infrastructure is me and one other guy. If we were vulnerable to actually being sued for an infringement on a user's part, we would probably just have to shut down; neither of us is up for running a legal battle.
Luckily we're US, not EU, but presumably there are small forum/blog operators in the EU as well.
- pmontra 9y agoI wonder what happens if you have some EU citizens posting copyrighted content on your site. I didn't check if they're going to make it a felony, but in that case are they going to ask for your extradition? If not, are they going to ask for damages? With no protection from the actions of our users it's a mess.
