It didn't prove any disaster or a censorship tool in the US, that's just bs and scare tactic. But the piracy DID prove to be a disaster, undermining the whole industries, leaving lots of people uneployed or underpaid etc.
So you don't think big sites that want all the top rankings won't be outsourcing work offshore and hammering ISPs with these copyright infringement notices? Even if one does you now have to jump through the hoops of proving you are legal and if they are offshore and hiding, good lucking going after them.

I'm not saying nothing should be done, but they have to be careful to not make is so easy to take a site down that anyone with a grudge or in a bad mood can do so
