In one vote in the EP, something similar was proposed as an alternative:

* Make (big) platforms provide APIs with which rightholders can check new posts for their copyrighted content and request either removal or monetisation

* Give uploaders 48 hours to contest removal requests before they are honoured, during which their uploads stay online, but may be removed from search results

* Once an infringement is identified and not contested, all earned revenue goes to the rightholders

That's rather sensible. However, it was voted down in favor of just making platforms legally liable for all uploads. https://juliareda.eu/2018/09/copyright-showdown/ (The "EPP group" proposals won – that's the Parliament position, not to be confused with the Council's, which are yet to be fully reconciled).

I'm strongly considering voting straight Pirate Party for the EP from now on. Copyright and internet freedom seems to be by far the most important concern for the Europarliament these days.

The big problem is to get the majority of voters on board.

Agreed, but here's one that agrees with you :-)
