That it might be "hard" to protect ones own copyright is of absolutely no concern to me.

This forum polices its own uploads for copyright infringement (and has always done so, even before any laws that told it it must) because it chooses to. Because it doesn't want to be associated with piracy, and because it honors copyright. We choose to try and stay on top of things from day to day because it ensures that we will be able deal with potential take-down request situations expediently.

I have no beef with anyone who chooses to ensure their own little corner of the internet strives to comply with copyright. I only have a beef with those who insist all others must be legally forced to do so (beyond what they are already required to do, RE takedown notices, etc...).

Who pays for this enforced policing of the contract between copyright holder and society?
