Yet the law says:
> Those measures, such as the use of effective content recognition technologies, shall be appropriate and proportionate.
Ignoring fair use is neither appropriate nor proportionate. Also, taking someone's works down falsely would be a violation of this same article, since the content provider is obligated to

which obviously precludes YouTube from just deleting your content on a false positive and not providing you with any recourse. Furthermore, article 13 only applies to
> providers that store and provide to the public access to large amounts of works
and not smaller companies. The whole article basically sums up the idea: work together.
- Natanael_L 8y agoIt's never going to be enforced in that way, though. It would just take too many lawyers to cover your ass if you tried that as a host.
- BlackFly 8y agoObviously you cannot just allow copyright infringement because you are a small content provider. However, this particular article would not apply to you. You would have the ordinary duties already in law. Once you start to be large, then this article places an obligation on you to work with copyright holders directly in an appropriate and proportionate amount. Other than misreading or ignoring parts of the law, I don't really see how it is unreasonable.
