Unfortunately, "difficult" or "impractical" requirements don't excuse anyone from legal responsibilities.

I doubt it's all that difficult though, since any useful site will use a database. Not a snap to add that data, but not impossible either.

And while a proactive result might be difficult, that does not apply to notifications from the rights holder.
