My reading of it, is the part I underlined.

It seems to me it says that the site has to be dedicated to theft of US property [and only covers Internet Service Providers.

As these are all businesses they can refuse to do business with who ever they choose.

Can someone point out where an accuser is granted immunity please. As if I'm wrong I would love someone to put me right.
seriously what about the following statement do you not understand.

Quote:
They did what they did because they knew the current penalties are a joke (come over to the united states, spend millions in legal fees to only get back your provable hard losses only)

The only reason the court case is going forward is because mega upload is using it to prove that SOPA is fucked up. If they prove that the current penalty doesn't prevent abuse like universal did, then keeping the penalty the same especially when you raise the penalty so greatly is not only unfair but trade war anti competitive.
the maximum damages you can get is so small, virtually no one gets tagged, it a virtual immunity.

when the penalty is real people like robbie complain that it unfair.
