Wouldn't comment moderation be a simple way to avoid this?
Although I can understand that for larger sites that is not feasible - but for personal blogs, avoiding the $109 would be nice...
- hristov 16y agoNot exactly. Technically, if you serve a page which has copyrighted material you are guilty of copyright infringement. So if the copyrighted material is on your page even for a little bit(i.e., before you discover it and delete it), you may be guilty of infringement for those people that have accessed your page before you took the content down. Also it is very hard to decide what is and isn't copyrighted material on your own.
- ams6110 16y agoComment moderation to me means that comments do not appear until approved. However I don't think this really avoids the issue: are you going to take the time to research every comment to be sure that there is no infringing content?
- kyleniemeyer 16y agoThat is the kind of moderation I had in mind - but you are right, it could take more time than it's worth.
