That's just the thing -- she DOES have a way to do it. It doesn't matter that her decision not to pre-filter is because it would destroy Trisphee to slow down social interaction that much, or because it would cost way too much to keep that much of a moderator staff online around-the-clock. It doesn't matter that we have moderation policies in place to take infringing content down when it's discovered. (This was sufficient under DMCA; it would not be sufficient under SOPA.) All that matters is that Fenris knows that it's POSSIBLE to post infringing content and didn't do anything to prevent that from happening in advance.
Edit: You can't copyright a sentence. It's
de minimis
. You can TRADEMARK it, but that's a completely different set of laws.
