The abuse it and lose it penalty I talked about would do absolutely nothing to protect a pirate site. Think about how the fuck would a pirate site ever prove they were innocent
by definition they can't because their a pirate site.
The 1st amendment issue is ALL i care about, the abuse of this law (because the process is wishy washy grey area that so fucking bad, it can "accidentally" be abused) is all i care about.
Why do i comment now, because that what a comment period is for dumb ass.

At this point none of us know what the bill is going to end up being. But you better believe that ALL pirate sites and people who profit from piracy are going to be against it as long as it affects their ill-gotten gains.
And to those of you who think it will have no effect at all...then why the hell are you screaming so loud against it? If it's just a joke to the pirate sites and "won't change a thing"...then shouldn't you just stfu and not worry about it?

Just because it won't stop the pirates who will use dirty tricks to bypass the filters doesn't mean it will have no effect on the INNOCENT but WRONGFULLY accused sites that will be caught in the drag net.
Those innocent sites will suffer all the penalty but have no "solution" to get around the problem because again by DEFINITION they are innocent.
Again that why i want an abuse it and lose it clause in the law, so the innocent sites at least have a recovery option (they can sell the newly public domain content to recoup there losses) if the copyright holder tries to nickel and dime them on damages.

ADAPT OR DIE!
P.S.: I'm going to guess that guys who create NOTHING like gideongallery will NOT be able to "adapt" when they can no longer steal on the internet.
