The thing is, even the media cartels hate this system, because it requires they go and manually hunt infringement. They don't want to pay that cost. They want something like YouTube's Content ID where they send one notice and all the platforms do what they say (or perish). That's why there was such a big push for yesterdecade's SOPA/PIPA and today's EUCD Article 17.
