I want to know who came up with this " user submitted " crap anyways.
Before the internet there was no way a book, magazine or newspaper would publish anything before it was verified who the owner was because they were libel for it.
There was no way a music store would sell anything that came to their store by whatever means ( bootleg ).
There was no way TV or movie theaters would show something that wasn't legitimate.
All those in the business of intellectual property were held accountable for their actions.
Then along comes the internet and suddenly it's a free for all. If the website owner is made responsible for whatever appears within their domain name the internet would be a much different place. Sometimes you need to take a step back before you can move forward.
