Exactly was classifies as a small business to be except from having to implement automatic filtering?

If a company of say 5 people develop an app or website that makes 10's millions every year from user uploaded content are they exempt?

Is it determined on your businesses profit, number of employees, number of users of your service, or a combination of all of these?

They media companies complain that they only make 50p per Youtube user, but with the amount of users of Youtube it is still a big chunk of cash that they wouldn't be getting if Youtube decide that they will remove copyrighted content rather than letting the media companies monetise it.

If this law were to guarantee that artists would receive at least 50% of the revenue generated from views I would support it but even with streaming from Apple and Spotify how much does the artist actually receive compared to what the record company takes?
