You clearly don't see the implications of the laws at all. They demand prelicensing and that it includes terms of liability. Yeah it doesn't require an upload filter - if they don't mind paying blank checks! There is no way to tell automatically whose copyright everything belongs to! The law makes assumptions it will be easy. The law is an ass. There is no reasonable way to know ahead of time what will fit. So the way to go is guilty until proven innocent leonine contracts with /everyone/ and if not undefined penalties whee!

From https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/leonine

Definition of leonine: of, relating to, suggestive of, or resembling a lion

What? (And furthermore, what a cool word)

Another name for contracts of adhesion[0], that comes from Aesop's Fables, "The Lion and His Fellow-Hunters"[1].
