So I guess technically they should have some kind of a reference count. Once you and all your friends with which you shared a specific image or message or whatever leaves, they should let all rights lapse. That would be the right way to do it, at least.

- mechanical_fish 18y agoSo I guess technically they should have... a reference count. Okay, wise guys: Show me the algorithm that finds the snippet of ojbyrne's writing that I've just copied, above, and deletes it when ojbyrne deletes the original message. ;) Now show me the version which correctly identifies my quote as a pretty obvious case of fair use, and therefore allows me to keep the quote even when the original is deleted. No hacker would expect you to be able to do such a thing reliably. But the juries in copyright lawsuits are not composed of hackers.
