What seems to be missed here is that the SAME people who are skirting the law now by publishing sites with stolen content will be the ones who abuse this new tool and use it to shut down competition with little proof....
What stops someone from publishing content stolen from a members area and then filing a 'claim' that the true originator of the content 'stole' it from them and needs to be shut down. What stops people from filing bogus complaints by the thousands just to clog up the system or create the perception that a truly honest site is somehow dishonest...
The possibility of abusing this new tool makes it worse than the reality of not having it available. They must list VERY specific rules for it and have a streamlined FREE appeals process or it will backfire and do harm to honest sites instead.
