Is there anything unique about your site that prevents Instagram from just implementing licensing themselves?

Nope, not at all. It would be great if they did though, it would actually give them an incentive to protect artists and photographers. Right now they are taking a real back seat with copyright infringement, which is a real shame because it's the creators that bring all the value to the platform and they're the ones that are losing out, whether it's not being properly attributed for their work or brands reposting their stuff without payment.
Makes sense, thanks for taking a crack at fixing this problem!
