But it's impossible for a site to monitor all content

It can happen to anyone!
Do we need a lawyer to defend us?

We can defend ourselves if we know our rights
There is so much info out there that can make copyright hard to understand
But Ima spell it out for you
Copyright law is different for each country
US Copyright law uses a system of
Fair Use Factors:
1.Purpose and character
2.Nature of copyrighted work 3.How much is used and transformed 4.Economic effects
Clearly transformed
A user can defend themselves if argued correctly
But your work can't be too similar to the original
The US takes free speech seriously
Fair Dealing provisions:
- Review or criticism - Research or study - News reporting - Legal proceedings - Parody and satire
Australian law lags behind the US. Lacks a specific defence for transformed works
Outside of RMIT, we can't use the research or study defence!
