    I thought that was exactly how copyright works. It is infeasible to keep track of every infringement, so a policy like that is unenforceable.

    That’s why DMCA takedowns exist, even automated after an Ai recognizes a song in example. As this has some bad side effects in an automated process or even persons and companies misusing it either willingly or by not understanding, it will remain a problem. DMCA exists because it is unfeasable to keep track of every infringement, and an instant action is taken just in case it is true.

      A problem with DMCA is that it runs opposite of the rest of the legal system. DMCA takedowns operate on a guilty until proven innocent priniciple. This might be manageable if there were consequences for abusing the takedown system.

        I agree with you 100%. I just brought it up, because it proves that there needs to be a solution to the problem and this is an attempt to solve the issue (at least somewhat). I am not an advocate for DMCA system, because it is misused easily.
