Terrible burden. A burden legit companies have to carry out all the time. We have to check models are legal, get them to sign paper work. Then when we sell the license, customers have to check the license, check the IDs, check the model release. To make sure it's all legal.

Now those taking "User generated" content have to do the same. How will they manage.

Speaking of huge and unnecessary burdens, have any of you free shit lovers ever tried to police literally dozens of thousands of piracy sites that post links to stolen content? Do you know what kind of burden it is? Do you know how astronomically huge piracy numbers are and that no copyright holder will not be able to check 1/10th of it in his entire lifetime? Now THAT'S the burden, but of course it is OK because it's them evil obsolete copyright holders have to do it. Save God some brilliant innovative kid that is scheming new youtube in his garage is forced to do it. That's the end of the world. No more innovation. Oppression and totalitarism. But of course.
Do you think pirates and those living off piracy give a shit about our burdens? No they want the freedom of no burdens and no laws.
