I can see the headlines already... let's just hope this does not work that well that people are deciding that its much easier to make money by suing people for "pirated content" than it is to actually run a site...
1) Parents are responsible for their children's actions
2) Agreed we all know of the shady characters who will use a DMCA law to make money from pirated content.

Yes I can see the headlines now. "A site makes money from pirated content!!!"
