Are you going to assume all of the liability when you get it wrong as well?

What I don't understand yet is why any of the content holds would help you by providing lots of useful metadata. It seems much more lucrative for them to find your violations and sue for more than they could have gotten from subscriptions and/or ads. Plus, if the site goes out of business fighting/paying, that's one less competitor for their own streaming service.

I suspect an entity like Google could offer such a service, based on its enormous reach, compute resources, and a similar system already implemented for YouTube.

Played right, this could offset some lost ad revenue.

And then suddenly, Google gets the right of life and death on almost any content on the internet. This is dystopian enough to be believable.

Is anyone doing this already? Content FIlter as a service? Presumably, everyone's going to need it now, and it makes no sense for every social network permitting video/audio uploads to build their own.

What's the pricing scheme?
