Seriously there is no burden.
They disable the "User Submitted" tools and only allow those who are known and trusted. Facebook, Twitter, etc will survive as a message service. Text is fine unless it libel. Then the poster is liable. Linking to an image not stored on your server is fine, or the post office and telephone companies might be in trouble.
Youtube will need a rethink. they might give accounts to ABC, NBC, MGM, etc. Joe Soap can't upload a video of his own choice unless it's checked.
Life will continue. Unless a large part of your income comes from piracy or off piracy, like advertising on a piracy site or processing for a piracy site. Life for them will get harder.
For those who get free entertainment or programs. They might find life a bit tougher.
The bands might not have to go on the road to make a living and can go into the studio and concentrate on the music. Knowing it won't be stolen and given away for free.
One man's burden is another man's lighter load. Just turning the tables.
