I see, thank you for your explanation, coming from a civil law system it
sounds pretty weird. Anyway I concur, it's pure madness and some action
must be taken.

At
a glance I'd say it would (at worst) impact

handle copyvios/the thin red line around fair-use, but most of our
ecosystem shouldn't be affected. So, what am I missing?
Without some form of safe harbor the likes of AP and getty would have
a fairly solid case for statutory damages for every single one of
their images uploaded even if we deleted them fairly quickly. We could
probably argue it down to $200 per image but it would still add up.
