You make a very valid point here. I would add one stipulation though and that would be that since users are submitting the content, they should be considered primary producers and subject to the same laws as anyone else. So when they submit content to tube sites etc they should be expected to have a 2257 statement that is compliant with US law.........let's see how many users would upload videos then
Since tubes sites profit from these user submitted videos they should be required by law to verify that each user has a valid 2257 notification...yes this might be inconvenient, but I find it inconvenient as hell to find a full length video of ours that some user has uploaded to a tube site without a license
