If you don't have anything to hide, why would you care? You aren't giving up any rights except possible the right to apparently violate copyright and child porn laws.
Getting these sites to be more responsible will put a certain damper on them, and as a result, will encourage people to use more formal methods to get the video and picture content they are looking for. That will push the pay market, and at the end of the day, we are in the pay to view market.

A) The government isnt about to start helping porn companies enforce copyrights, this isnt gonna help ANY OF US. Get that through your head.
B) Ive seen tons of galleries hosted on free image sites on image dumps, surfer forums, etc. Never seen any kiddy porn, not even once. I'd assume people into that shit have figured out not to use U.S. based sites for that crap - in other words, they're watching the wrong people.
C) Because of what I stated above, people uploading legitimate files will be logged by law, and those logs will be available to the government.
D) Once again the U.S. government is showing how clueless they are about the internet - laws that apply to the internet only for americans don't mean anything. As soon as these laws go into effect, you'll see all the surfer-boards announcing to use Canadian based sites to be safe.
True, none of us have anything to worry about since we're not doing anything illegal, however it comes down to what information SHOULD or SHOULNT be shared with the government.
Innocent people doing legal things falls into the "shouldn't" catagory for me.
...and while theyre busy reading logs about image uploads, thousands of 13 year old girls on myspace are getting hit on by 50 year old men trying to meet them in person (see Dateline NBC).
Yeah, this is how we should spend law enforcement resources.
Get real.
