If the law doesn’t exist, that kills revenue systems for basically every content creator of any kind that doesn’t make their own site and find their own advertisers from scratch. And while I’ll agree that many content creators and several of the platforms would make me happy by failing, your idea of “legalize royalty/ad fraud” is insane, with far too many consequences. Go on, present your side of the argument: if I enter into an agreement where I tell a person “if I make a thing, you can distribute it and then we’ll split the revenue” and then I intentionally deceive them into giving me money by faking the distribution numbers, why is that okay?
To hell with that, that law sucks and blind statism is stupid.
