because the three strikes law doesn't require a full trial with full access to free public defenders so you can defend yourself when the copyright holder misrepresents fair use as an infringement

the 3 strike law doesn't have a balancing penalty when the copyright holder misrepresents fair use as a copyright infringement.


if a false complaint (3 strikes and you lose the right to every register another copyright again) was in place i would have no problem with the law.

a one side law which has no penalty for bad accusations means a lot of innocent people are going to get caught in the drag net.
