IANAL, but if they’re ambivalent and not making a slightly proactive attempt to stop blatant and obvious piracy on their site, couldn’t that still get them sued? YouTube has Content ID which of course has its problems but I think is somewhat of a protection to ensure that they don’t get sued direct.
- LocalH 3y agoContent ID exists because YouTube got sued
- GrantMoyer 3y agoAlso NAL, but the "safe harbor" laws[1] explicity state that "a service provider monitoring its service or affirmatively seeking facts indicating infringing activity"[2] is not required for protection. I have no idea how that translates to judicial precedent though.
