Hi Wangari,
The aggrieved party reports a copyright infringement and the user has the disadvantage of having the content being pulled down and flagged appropriately by the service provider once there is an infringement proven. This I believe creates a healthy ecosystem as it does not unduly antagonize service providers.
Kind regards,

Meaning that the users should be liable fully? This is a mountain to follow up on.
Something is vague hear and leads to hague!!
Revenue is generated from this model (whether moneywise, inventor satisfaction or other).
Have a blessed day.

Thanks Mildred for sharing this, it makes perfect sense that the service providers are not held liable for the actions of users, it is a step in the right direction for courts to separate the users and service providers in regards to copyright infringement. A ruling in the alternative would have set a precedent that would create a severe blow to platforms which host content posted by users as they would have to struggle with screening of content.
