I had not thought this deeply about safe harbor laws before, they’ve always made sense to me. That said, the resources of content providers and ISPs is generally a lot larger, even collectively, than those of creators. On the other hand, it is hardly reasonable to expect ISPs to police the entire internet. It seems to me like there should be some sort of middle ground that requires content providers to have an active anti-piracy policy that seeks out and removes pirated material, but so long as it meets a certain set of standards they would not be penalized for content that they miss. That way content creators are not shouldering the burden for protecting their property, but content providers are not held to an impossible standard. I am, of course, no copyright law expert, but it seems to me that this is a reasonable middle ground that everyone could agree on.
