Can fictional persons (usernames) own anything or be held responsible for anything? (licence content)

  I don't see why not, but presumably it's the person (or people) controlling the username that would be held to account, if they can be identified

    Wouldn't that be the platform?

      Can't websites that host user-generated content take steps (under the DMCA?) to ensure that users alone (and not the site) are liable for any copyright-infringing user-generated content? If the users are sufficiently anonymised, or share accounts, prosecution might be difficult, but I'm not sure that makes them any less liable. I don't imagine that accounts themselves could be prosecuted, but I'm not a lawyer.
