Ask HN: How do I prevent my users from uploading copyrighted material?

I'm building a Gumroad-like platform for creators to sell their ebooks, and I've heard horror stories about how entire platforms get torpedoed because 1 bad actor user uploaded illegal/copyrighted material, so Stripe pulls the plug on them and fined them to the heavens. I've been thinking about how to combat this, and I've come up with 2 solutions: 1. Let users bring their own API keys (meaning I use Stripe Connect and use the "direct charge" model), so I don't get held liable to refunds, chargebacks, etc. My own Stripe is literally for subscription fees, that's it. 2. I haven't looked into it, but maybe there's an API out there, or even some AI bot, that I can use to screen uploaded material to see if they're illegal or copyrighted? Is there any other solution that I'm missing?
