That's an excellent solution. Too be honest I didn't know it was US law. I was under the impression that users of certain sites weren't tracked.

It would be nicer if users could be logged on sites by private organisations, via a court order, like people being pirated, organisations like ascap, etc. Would be a very good move forward.

However if a site is proved to be illegal, why leave it open?

A bricks and mortar business selling illegal drugs, pirated goods, etc. Would be raided and have the offending goods taken away. Then closed. Why is online different?
