they do but they don't. what they do well is respond when copyright holders escalate. but there's still a treasure trove of copyrighted stuff on the networks because there's just way too much to cover it all. to the extent that networks & sites have to care now, that will impact the end-users more then it does now. some people here are complaining about that loss of freedom. sorry i dont see how this law stops twitter revolutions, which have nothing to do with copyright.

in my opinion, the ISPs will love this law. They have 20% of their users consuming 80% of their bandwidth, & case law such as the comcast case took their ability to manage their traffic away from them. I could see the ISPs eager to erase all the torrents & tubes, who are nothing but bandwidth hogs (AKA cost them profits) on their networks. I could be wrong?
