* That the whole world must adopt US-style "notice-and-takedown" rules that require ISPs to remove any material that is accused -- again, without evidence or trial -- of infringing copyright. This has proved a disaster in the US and other countries, where it provides an easy means of censoring material, just by accusing it of infringing copyright.

If you have a good spot on Google and I want that spot I just contact the ISPs and tell them you have an infringing site and poof. . . it is gone. Eventually you might get it put back up when you prove it is not, but how long will that take and how much money will you lose in the process? And once you are back up as soon as you update the site I can have a buddy report you and we get to play the game all over again.
