I think it might be the latter. I'm pretty sure members+ was entirely meant to help mitigate the former issue, but guess there's no point making assumptions.Probably a lot of activitu took up in m+ and prestige with image creation, lots of threads, then someone had white kniight a break down, reported their concerns to a file hosting site for the website and the owner got a message that "get rid of this now or there will be problems". Alternatively they ran a scan due to full content being available (instead of bieng sharded, probably more expensive) and got a false positive which is also a problem and it led to a message, either way - it causes a disturbance in the force.
Learned a lot about different legislation and ways to stay available as well as with file storage as a thought exercise through it even if it turned out to be moot.
