If the govt then gives out harsh fines, and with too many violations blocks the site at the ISP level, then it is resolved. Let the sites get hit with $500 fine everytime content theft is found on their site and see if they comply or not.
It's easy to police if the fines are harsh.

Wow. OK. So you are a pornographer and you are advocating giving the GOVERNMENT power to censor what internet sites you (as a free American citizen) are allowed to look at?
Can you not see the precedent that sets for when then religious right get enough power to lobby for porn to be banned?
Also, how does this stop piracy anyway? It might close a few US servers down. But it won't stop piracy as it cannot touch anything outside the US. Unless you want your ISPs to block you accessing anything outside America too? Sounds like the Great Firewall of China to me...
