no fair editing

yeah, I fully agree that hosts and ISP's should shoulder some of the responsibility

there has to be some give and take built in - there has to be appeals processes - there has to be special needs dispensations...

but there also has to be a ban-hammer for the frequent abusers - and those who flagrantly profit from others productions

and DMCA is useless

but if the hosting companies and the ISP's were sending the warnings and cutting accounts - the impact would be huge.

as far as content being taken down and sites blocked or shut down with just a single notice of infringement - well, no system works that way - and I don't believe that this one would either. Fraudulent reports of infringement can be dealt with through criminal fines in extreme cases or civil suits in other cases.

don't break, circumvent, or stretch the law - and you have nothing to worry about.
