That would be far too much work. This new piece of legislation is scary because it won't take a court order for them to take action. This is about internet censorship, by way of limiting access.
If new legislation was passed, a government "panel" that determines what type of sites are committing "unlawful activity" would be enacted. Part of the legislation would demand that all U.S. based ISPs block access to any site they deem unlawful.
Tubes will get hit, filesharing sites like rapidshare, torrent indexing sites like piratebay, etc ,etc.

ha ha! While I agree some politicians want to kill our industry, the majority of them are just greedy. The adult industry is HUGE, and politicians will never turn down substantial payouts to "review a site's unlawful activity", just like they won't turn one down from the movie or music industry.
It will be the beginning of a new internet, that's for sure.
