Instagram is hardly a “small innocent creator”, they are a platform and if they are able to provide a scaled process to blast copyrighted content to hundreds of millions of people with no consequence, that is just not fair. The issue here is they deliberately curtail the ability of these very small innocent creators you speak of (read the article) by burying them in paperwork and forcing them to adopt a 1:1 reporting approach for each and every single piece of content and continue to blast them with follow up emails for each of those before they do anything about the content that has by then, accumulated the bulk of its impressions and views. It is in their financial interests to adopt this stance as they provide a “free” service that relies on the work on content creators(legal or not) to generate interest within their audiences. If those content creators have a recourse that’s so pathetic as to be called a joke, then I’d say they’re liable to these guys.
