If someone posts a video that is obscene then that's a crime at the time, even if the video is not spotted until later.
Similarly if someone murders someone it's a crime when the event happens, even if it is not found out until later.
In all cases ignorance of the law is not a defence.
And if someone does this from another country then most countries have extradition treaties in place.

At worst I can get sued for refusing to take it down. > And if someone does this from another country then most countries have extradition treaties in place. What? I can violate all the New Zealand laws I like. I live in a sovereign nation very far away.
