Prove it.
If that's your attitude then we are wasting our time.
You would rather have it phrased as citation needed? One of the basic parts of logical debate is that you can provide evidence to support your assertions.
If we waited for the plaint to arrive before doing anything, we would probably be knee-deep in lawsuits by now.
The low number experenced by youtube suggests otherwise. Despite a policy of not doing anything untill the legal complaint arrived there have been a handful of lawsuits. (Viacom that one from the premiership that one from utube a few otheres) and that is despite being packed with copyvios and legaly dubius statements.
Me, I think that our showing we take complaints seriously is one major reason we've got by this far without an army of lawyers.
There are a number of different ways to give the appearence of takeing complaints seriously.
