The alternative is to start lawsuit after lawsuit just like the ones that hit YouTube. The issue there is that those things cost time and money, and many companies find that it is easier to just fight the battle behind the scenes to have their content removed than to start a lawsuit where the defendant is going to say that a user uploaded the content and they will now just have it removed and the judge will throw the case out.
This is all far more complex than most people would like it to be. In the end we have to come up with solutions that are viable and cost effective for everyone.

I have to ask this again, because it just seems to be logical, at least I think it is???
2257 regulations, don't they come into effect with the broadcasting adult content?
Aren't the tubes bound to comply with those regulations too?
And if not- shouldn't they be?
Maybe the answer is easier than it seems?
Legislature!
Use 2257 as a shield for our content, they have to provide docs, and if that's not the case, make it the case!
Take the issue to court on a grand scale and make documentation of all adult content broadcast online a legal universal requirement!
I do realize how big that sounds and how difficult it would be, to have a bill passed to protect our content, but in re addressing it legally and as a side compontent in 2257 legislation, etc... wouldn't government want to take a hand this?
I dunno I could be talking out my ass here?
But I'm throughing it out there for feed back and facts at this point...
