Now the hosting company would NOT be liable if the company could not prove that the hosting company was willingly and knowingly hosting such content for their client...Once the hosting company is made aware of the issue...They become just as guilty as the client...But the DMCA terms protect the hosts so they don't have to police all their clients. As that would be a fulltime 24/7 job for several people depending on the size of the host...

There is no terms on how long you have to remove the content...You wanna kill the content asap as the DMCA is a friendly way of saying do it fucken now or else...

I am not giving out legal advice...You should always consult a attorney before getting into a business and figuring things out...As GFY is not a good way to base your business and liabilities on...But you can get the gist of things
