When you get hundreds of DMCA notices, it's hard not to know it.

When you are running video scrappers on legit sites, it's hard not to know it.

again depends on what your scrapping, if the source your scrapping is 99% fair use then your 99% fair use too.

When you are paying people to upload stolen content, it's hard not to know it.

and you don't need a new law to handle this, if you have PROOF that is what they are doing the safe harbor provision doesn't apply anyway so you can sue them into oblivion
so this argument is total utter bullshit and you know it.
If the new law required this level of proof before a site could be taken down, then it would be totally useless, because the current laws allow you to not only take the domain but all the assets of the company too.

Get my drift.....
Pornographers in the USA have 2257 to contend with and do vet every image on their sites.

you just made my point for me
if the 2257 does properly vet "every image on their sites" then the guys who downloaded and hosted the gallery of the under-age girl HAD to have know it was kiddie porn when they sent hits.
of course you know that not true, a fake id, trust in the sponsor all created a situation that allowed kiddie porn to be promoted by thousands of "innocent" web masters
the same is true with copyright infringement, in this case, trust in the uploaders, fake declarations of ownership/authorization allows copyright infringement to occur.
That where your inconsistency comes into play, you want you and your friends to be let off if they "unknowingly" promote kiddie porn, but you want to ignore who the same situation exists for all the "pirate" sites out there too.
