With any website (hackernews included) the only way they can actually completely prevent there from being copyrighted content in the comments that they host and publish is to not offer the ability to comment at all.
- lostjohnny 8y agoOr just remove all the links from comments... We don't really need to link something to express an opinion BTW HN have to check anyway, if I post a link to an obscure video sharing platform containing copyrighted material, that's an infringement Even if the domain is whitelisted, say github.com, I could host copyrighted material there They simply don't do it and rely on users's good faith
- esrauch 8y agoThe text of a comment itself is user generated content that can contain copyrighted material.
- lostjohnny 8y agoThe law regulates linked content Web sites are already responsible for copyright infringements committed by their users
