It is apparently aimed at large-scale, foreign-run piracy sites, and there's a detailed court process.
Translation; it's an ISP Section 230 ( and how's that working, with everyone bitching either about censorship or illegal threats, hate and porn in profusion right here in River City?) for the music/film/sports industry.
Due to the complexity, small producers be damned. And other fallout, but big money rules.
Wilhoit's Law:

It's good to be rich. They buy the laws.

- k310 2y agoI get the impression it's more about videos, movies, music, streaming sports and other highly popular and valuable things. There are suits against book and paper sharing sites under current laws, but IMO, small potatoes. Look at the value. A lot to Elsevier but nothing compared to movie and music empires. The snip you quoted was almost verbatim from the article, not my opinion.
