"if you know no one will ever upload copyrighted content"
How in the world could I know that as a website master? How am I supposed to know the range of actions for any future users.
- draugadrotten 8y agoLegally, perhaps it could be sufficient to include a check box saying "I certify that I am the copyright holder to everything I upload". Compare with the way EU handles the cookie law and GDPR consent click-yes.

- olliej 8y agoI was being sarcastic (I thought the tone and content made that obvious :) )
- krotton 8y agoYou're joking here, but a politician in Poland, when asked about how shall a popular link sharing platform (wykop.pl) deal with submissions, of which there are 100k / hour in peak times, actually suggested that "users should know not to upload illegal materials".
- swsieber 8y agoThe last sentence threw me off (about certain content not being covered). If it was just your first paragraph, I would have thought it was sarcasm. And I was tired.
- fjsolwmv 8y agoPlease don't use sarcasm on HN. It is low quality discourse that only causes confusion, and sarcasm doesn't have a detectable "tone" in text.
