The fact that it's more severe than DMCA isn't something I think I need to explain. The more-easily-abused-part, however, is due to the term "rogue website" not being defined anywhere near well enough in the bill, so if someone want something down, they can just say that they considered it to be a rogue site for pretty much whatever reason they want, and get away with it.The Cool Kid said:Can I ask where you read that that is the case?
I mean, that's what they're doing with (and getting away with) Pro-IP and DMCA even today, and a lot of the stuff they shut down is in no way justified of a takedown. An example I can get from the top of my head is when Universal shut down a music video where several artists tried to raise awareness around the fact that they got Megaupload DNS-blocked, by claiming that it "violated their copyrights". It didn't violate their copyrights at all, yet they got the video removed from Youtube anyways. Would you seriously want to give these guys even bigger guns, especially when the gun in question is made to "stop piracy", but piracy is pretty much the only thing it won't affect?
