if you think losing the copyright is to harsh then how about statutory damages of 25k for each person who is DENIED access to the legit content.

That the same penalty your entitled too.

And if the copyright holder doesn't have the money then all their assets (including their copyright are seized).
What part of this don't you understand?

NO ONE WILL ASK YOU WHAT YOU WANT THE PENALTY TO BE.

You might as well say the person who wrongly accuses should be hung drawn and quartered in public and on Youtube. Or should be given the house of the person he wrongly accuses, for all the difference it makes.

You're nothing, no one, a nobody and have absolutely no say in this law.

When someone wrongly accuses another of running a site dedicated to piracy, not pirating a few items. The ISPs are only immune with this protection.

Quote:
It's about sites dedicated to piracy. And in the reasonable belief that;

(1) the Internet site is a foreign infringing site or is an Internet site dedicated to theft of U.S. property; and

(2) the action is consistent with the entity's terms of service or other contractual rights.
If they just act on an email from an accuser. They will find immunity isn't there and they will pay dearly. The minimum safeguards I would expect an ISP to take are to investigate the site. Just cutting the site off, will get them into a lot of trouble.

What confuses you about this?
