And what is in your eyes the difference to MD having the liability? Both are fans doing things for the community.
The person writing the statement in the OP knows it’s bad to be liable but expects the persons making MD to take that liability instead of themselves. Strange thought to me.
I’m only a reader myself, but I still thought everybody involved knew that the possibility of an DMCA takedown always existed and kept as much anonymity as possible to escape it.
In my opinion this could even strengthen everybody:
If MD doesn’t save anything identifying the uploaders, so no IPs and just the username and password, and the uploaders are smart enough to not have identifying things used in combination with MD, then it should make it harder for the publishers to duck everything up like now.

OOF
Having the uploader be liable for copyright infringement will kill MD for obvious reasons
