> For user-generated-content sites, do we have to keep policing those sites for "repeat offenders"? Or is this the site's responsibility?
It is not the site's responsibility. Under the DMCA they are obligated to remove infringing material but there is no requirement for ongoing "monitoring".
Thanks. That's interesting. We've heard that according to EU copyright laws things are a little different, but since it's cross-border (and even without it), things can get very tricky...
I wonder if anybody has first-hand experience in a similar situation. This will be really helpful.
