I appreciate the attempt, but honestly, I&#x27;m not really sure how you would build something like this. You&#x27;d have to be able to filter audio, video, images and text.<p>I&#x27;m not even sure if there exists a corpus of copyrighted content anywhere to compare against. You&#x27;re probably going to have to build it yourself. And keep it up to date with not just newly generated content, but also content whose copyrights expired.<p>Frankly, even for companies of the FAANG scale, this is a tough challenge, and I don&#x27;t think a startup is going to be able to handle this.

It&#x27;s not an API. It&#x27;s a website which asks for your email address and says that it &quot;wants&quot; to offer an API.

Interesting idea, but I think many file upload sites will soon shift to encryption before uploading (like Firefox Send), making filters impossible.
