The idea here is to protect the truly innocent from bogus claims while hastening the demise of the most blatent offenders.
Note: Given the nature of file lockers and file sharing forums, this "SOPA lite" plan wouldn't work with them.

Yeah, the problem isn't with the sites that wants to follow the law. It's the sites that doesn't that is the problem.
What we should be careful about though, is to make laws to target the illegal activities, but end up hurting all others instead. And that's what SOPA will do.
There must be other, better ways to fight piracy than this.
