Yep, they just opened the biggest can of worms in history.
Even if they got something established, it will be literal years of testing and creeping the degrees by which something constitutes fair use or transformation, because users will naturally test the shit out of it down to the bleeding edge.
Literally, starting now, every image or work has to be scanned and manipulated by degrees and uploaded and tested and challenged against the filtering system, opening the whole thing up to legal challenges on every strata of potential usage.
All ending on the final challenge of what constitutes an effective Copyright claim anyway?
Movies, images, music, text all takes from the collective "stew" of culture.
And what is truly unique? How much of movie X can remind the audience of movie Y before a copyright claim can be launched and the filtering system made to block it reaching streaming services? And if an allowance is made there, then the bleeding-edge percentage established by case law of what does and doesn't create legal transformation, and a new original work, can then be applied to memes and fan fic and remixes and every other fucking thing.
This whole scam is yet another socialist/marxist/globalist construct that lives and dies on there being a central Ministry of Truth that rules on everything, according to the whims of the particular rubber-stamp wielding Commisar on duty that day.
Centralized political authority over all things. It's literally the only play they have because their
ideas don't work out in the free market.
