So am I right in thinking this law will also put processing and advertising companies in the frame once notified of an infringing site?
If so the DNS slant is largely irrelevant. It removes the biggest prop to piracy sites. Profit.
What processing company or advertiser will risk facing huge fines for doing business with pirates?

This is going to hit a lot of people if I'm right. "User Uploads" are gone. So Tubes will have to buy content or put full scenes from their own sites on their Tubes to maintain their traffic.

The advertisers can't risk pirated scenes on the site.
Interesting times ahead.
