Ask HN: Users start sharing copyrighted files in your app, Legal Advice?

1 points by alfonsodev ↗ HN
Let's say you create a chat app that has groups, and people start sharing links to copyrighted materials.

How can you avoid that your app is banned from the Apple and Google stores ?

Is there a standard copyright notice mechanism ? Would be enough taking down links that receive a notice ? Would that exime you from any legal responsibility ?

Legal responsibility... Fines and such, regardless, if the EU leadership has their way...

And as with any legal situation, talk to a lawyer, it's worth the money.
