All this really might depend on FSC's 2257 case that's ongoing. I'm not a lawyer or 2257 expert, but *FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND* it used to be where secondary producers didn't have to worry about 2257, but there was some law that passed that got rid of that precedent and *TECHNICALLY* secondary producers should be 2257 complaint.

Obviously, none of them are.

Weird how none of this applies to "search engines" and since every site has a search function, why aren't they "search engines"?

Answer : because it's bullshit.

This is the one thing that had me scratching my head over the passing of SESTA/FOSTA, as it got rid of a bunch of those Safe Harbor provisions, which *TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE* is what was protecting search engines, sites running on UGC, and so on.

It would be really great if they would start to enforce these rules

Income would shift back to the people that are actually producing the content, and the small affiliates that can produce the traffic, like it was before tubes came along
