Does everyone really not understand how "user submitted" content works? As was said before. Currently this is a huge gray area. Until legislation is passed there was nothing illegal. Infringement? Yes, but technically a dmca is required for the site to remove the content. If the site starts policing the content and removes anything other than obviously "illegal" cp, beasty stuff, etc, at that point the 2257 loophole falls apart, and they would be open to 2257 inspection if they are in the states. Do I think its a good thing? Yes and no. The laws need to be streamlined more in order to fix things.
I just get tired of people trying to make a name by attacking whoever they can without having any idea of the facts and circumstances. Ban hammer needs to be thrown more often.
