Well let's turn this around - if there was an automatic fine process every time the legitimate owner proved his content was being illegally distributed, then the site owners would very quickly ensure that they had all their content correctly licensed.

All this "we cannot possibly be expected to know what's on our website" bullshit would end immediately.

A newspaper proprietor is responsible for what he prints but a website owner is not responsible ?

(Obviously this assumes that site regulations and fines would be policed and upheld - fat chance !)
