If you came along and posted a funny picture to GFY that is copyrighted should GFY have to manually open that post, try to figure out if the image is copyrighted, approve or deny the post based on that and hope like hell they got it right? There is a reason that most of the innovators online do not want this to pass and it's because it's complete bullshit.
I never said it was perfect. It's a step in the right direction, at least the powers that be recognize there is a problem.
