I suggest you reread my post. If a site owner doesn't want to be responsible, they should
verify each user and name the responsible person who uploaded the content. And I could't care less about social networks, fuck them. Being responsible for the content that YOU decided can be freely added to YOUR own website by users (again - your decision) is 100% fair.

Because there is no law that would force them to do that - that's what I'm talking about. Xhamster started to verify their users about 10 months ago and suddenly there is no pirated content uploaded since then. All those pirated videos you see are uploads prior to this change. All those thieving assholes pissed their pants and moved elsewhere because no thief/criminal will provide his ID.
PH is one of the most popular websites in the world and they are able to verify uploads, so don't tell me that others are not able to do that. Social networks earn billions each year, they have all the resources to do this. They just fear a massive loss of users - those shitbags know that a user breaking the law on their servers is still a user.
