Sure they're not going to bother with porn tube sites, but is this passes it'll help us anyway, by reducing the overall amount of piracy and by making hosting and other service companies more cautious when it comes to clients like this.
It'll also hit cyberlocker sites that are used both for mainstream and adult piracy like rapidshare and clones - the less money they make, the better. If they start closing mainstream rapidshare blogs and forums that post links to stolen Hollywood movies, they'll sell less premium memberships, meaning they have to cut on their expenses, reducing the amount of servers and bandwidth available etc, meaning less of the pirated materials can be uploaded because the'll have to delete some in order to make room for new uploads. Also if the pie is shrinking, probably we'll see only 20 rapidshare clones left instead of the current 200. And the ones who're left probably will be more reasonable and start to block infringing files like rapidshare does, instead of just making new link available for the uploader to replace the removed one like most of them currently do.
So I see this as a good thing overall.
