> So hopefully, this will not impact smaller SaaS companies as much as it might look. ... this would not impact smaller SaaS companies ... This isn't a law yet and I don't think most people want it to become one. That said, I disagree that this isn't a terrible burden for the small guy. Even if it would be trivial to set up, all the other downsides remain and it leads to lock-in in the form of dependence on large companies who have implemented this. More importantly, why do we want this? What benefits does this bring? I don't see many for the ordinary person.

So if someone posts the lyrics to a song and Sony sues them for 50,000 euro could they argue that it is the fault of the ISP for not filtering their post properly? This is a longshot, but I was trying very hard to think of some way in which this law doesn't screw over individuals for the benefit of large corporations.
