If it were only that, it would be simple. The problem is that most of the laws and methods used by the music industry are... overkill. DRM has, in its many forms, been inconvenient and/or invasive, and chock-full of false positives. SOPA/PIPA was ripe for abuse with its overly-broad provisions and shoot-first-ask-later style. There's no reason to think that any of the requests on this new list will be any more elegantly implemented. For bonus points, all of the IFPI's requests involve lumping an awful lot of extra work on the Interet's middlemen, with the possibility of shutting down plenty of not-infringing-but-simply-annoying sites.
