So I complain to the government and get your site pulled until it's settled in court or vice versa? Would that be fair to you/me? Why does the government get to decide without due process? What about written blogged concepts and ideas? Where does it start or stop? How long do you think it will take before this system is abused?

I'm not sure that the scenario you just presented would even be considered under this law. This is about stealing copywritten WORKS, not CREATING similar works.
I think you may be stretching it to come up with that scenario. But you don't have to even try to stretch it to see what piracy has already done and is doing right now to this business.
I'm pretty sure that what you just described would never be a serious SOPA infringement or even given a second thought. And you might even get in trouble for wasting their time with something like that.
Just look at DMCA. Have the govt. "abused" that? Hell no. Matter of fact they have under-enforced it pretty darn well. Not just on porn (because they could care less about us) but in mainstream as well.
Listen...right now a cop can pull you over in your car, beat the shit out of you, plant some drugs on you, and throw you in jail. But that's just theory. Doesn't mean we're gonna suddenly change all traffic laws just because it MIGHT happen.
Same here with this law.
I don't trust the government. But I do recognize that when people decide to start stealing freely and destroying the economy online...it's time to get rid of the antiquated DMCA law and get something with some sharp, sharp teeth.
As long as you create your own content...you have nothing to worry about from this law. It's really pretty simple. That's why I welcome it.
I create EVERYTHING for Claudia Marie's site. This law does nothing to hurt me and everything to help me.
It's the people who contribute nothing...like gideongallery, who are the very most afraid. And of course, people with cam companies, dating, etc. are sweating it. But they shouldn't. All that traffic isn't going anywhere. It's just going to move to legit sites which was where it was before Pornhub existed.
And the dating and cam and pill sites will get their traffic and sales from the legit sites just like they used to.
Bottom line is...there's nothing going to stop what's coming. And the uncreative thieving pirates with their upload scripts that automate everything are going to have to:
Adapt or Die.
