Total bullshit
copyright monopoly (exclusive right) is not a protected constitutional right

while the expression protected by that copyright is

your expression is in no way shape or form hindered even if you put all your content in the public domain.

If you want to play the hard ball OK. My copyright will void if I send DMCA for what is later found to be fair use. But if it is found to be real copyright infringment, you'll be stripped of ALL of your properties and whatever money you have in bank.
no problem because you have that ability right now, you can sue for statutory damages if the infringement is real

this law extends those conditions to the service providers, for the actions of the end users.

That will create a balance of fear between too equal constitutional rights. You're shitscared to steal because you know you'll loose everything if cought. I'm shitscared to send DMCA to anything that even remotely looks like it might be fair use aka protected speech.
like i said if it targets the uploader that exactly the liability the currently have

so i wouldn't be accepting a single bit more liability then what the law already put in place against the uploader anyway.

if on the other hand you want to make the service provider "shitscared" to even provide the service in the first place, then you are talking about blatant censorship as service providers over censor just to be safe.
