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.

you don't understand the concept of free speech do you old man
i don't have to be asked, i have a right to say what i want
and when i and other free speech advocates ask you how many
totally innocent sites do have thr right to destroy before you face the same consequences as the pirates how are
actually damaging you.
and you say as many as i want.
People realize how unfair the law is and it won't pass.
if it does pass then the effected foriegn countries which need to protect their INNOCENT will add the penalty to their own laws.
What the US going to do close it borders to the world for every good and service. Say we won't buy oil from canada until you give us the right to destroy as many INNOCENT canadian companies as we want.

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.
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?

so if they respond to every email, they get sued by the "falsely accused" pirates when they make a mistake
and if they don't they have to go to court to prove that the copyright holders request is unreasonable.
And because the process is not absolutely clear, they got to hope that a judge doesn't get suckered by a fast talking lawyer.
And even if they do win, all the copyright holder is on the hook for is what the wronged isp can prove ABSOLUTELY is the damages they suffered, which is basically only court fees, no lost profits, no pain and suffering, no statutory damages.
This is the bullshit your trying to argue is fair.
