Jason Scott and others all the way to the top have been saying "Just upload! We'll figure it out later!" for a decade. That turned out to be a bad strategy.
They're also infamous for ignoring DMCA requests. Requiring a driver's license or passport before they'll even talk to you. Then they leaked those, ugh.
Archiving stuff is Fair Use, but where's the fun in that, I guess. People should be able to upload things and say "Yes, this is a bootleg mix of a Prince song. Archive it but don't publish it, please."
A combination of bizarre policies and subverting their own DMCA protections is why they're in this mess. Again.
Musk showed up for lunch looking to vacuum things up. I hope that's not how this story ends. But it's starting to look like it.
