Once you start censoring even a small gap in the market, it only grows from there.
It's a trojan horse, and if anyone who is familiar with the US GOV tactics, you ought to damn well know they are already planning other tactical uses.

I agree that censoring is bad. But this is not about censorship, it is about enforcing the copyright laws to protect producers, not thieves. I am sure it would make the internet less fun for people that enjoy receiving stolen goods, and the people making good money on theft. Pay to produce some content, create a site, then launch it. A week or two later if it is good, you can google it and see it show up all over the net. See how that feels and you will know who the law is for. It is these people that like the idea of a law with some teeth. Everyone else has nothing to lose and maybe even money to gain by stealing being a valid way to generate traffic and income. No way this is gonna pass, but a content producer can dream.
