Yep.. basically anything posted anywhere can be challenged, and any site could be immediately shut down with no notice or recourse.
For instance, let's say one of my Daz products was used in a gallery render here.
And Rendo pissed me off for some reason.. maybe too many Antonia threads.
So I decide I'll get them, and report them under SOPA. Techincally I am the copyright holder, and even though a gallery post would be fair use, because I complained and provided proof of copyright, Rendo would be shut down, AND unsearchable in search engines.
Yes, they could lobby for reinstatement, but imagine all the trolls worldwide with beefs at thousands of websites, doing the same thing.
How long might it take for Rendo to be reinstated, with thousands of sites asking to have thier cases heard? One person being a jerk could shut down an entire community with an invalid complaint.
Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.
