What role do social media platforms play in detecting and removing pirated content?

While takedown notices can be an effective tool in combating piracy by requesting the removal of copyrighted content from websites and platforms, their effectiveness can vary. Some studies suggest that takedown notices can help reduce piracy by targeting specific infringing content. However, others argue that the impact may be limited as infringing content can easily reappear on different sites. It’s important to note that the effectiveness of takedown notices is influenced by factors such as the responsiveness of website operators, the jurisdictional differences in enforcement, and the continuous evolution of pirating methods.
