wiseguy, eh? You know what I'm talking about and if you call the law something else in your region, good for you: you're unique.
The law is the same: content hosts are not liable for illegal content if they don't know about it.
Not every country has a law which protects you like that, and some have the exact opposite law that actively goes after you for it instead.
You may be thinking about DMCA in US law which have the "don't know about it" provision. You're still not protected from other federal laws unless those too have a similar provision
