Quote - 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.

And here's the thing: the money Rendo (and vendors) lost would be unrecoverable, even if the takedown was done due to someone maliciously setting up the website, because the two versions of the law provide the ISP with complete immunity. You can't sue them to recover lost income even with 100% concrete proof that it was clearly a troll acting in a malicious manner.

So, imagine an ISP facing the situation where (a) they're potentially breaking the law if they don't stop access to a website that might have copyrighted material and (b) there is absolutely zero consequence to them for pulling the trigger, even if it's blatantly obvious there's no justification for the complaint or it's an obvious setup; what do you think happens?
