Well YouTube was similar when it first started, no? People were uploading whatever they wanted, and eventually they rolled out DMCA takedown and reporting features for copyright infringement violations.

Over time, the service was setup with a full feature set to handle all of this, but it didn't exist when YouTube first started.

I mean just because YouTube broke the rules and made it doesn’t mean everyone else will.

If you believe that, then... Wanna buy a lottery ticket from me?
