1. X contacts your registrar, your cc processor, your host, your bank,... and accuses you of hosting copyrighted content on your site.
2. Your registrar etc now has 5 days to contact you.
3. If within those 5 days, the content is not removed, your registrar, processor etc have to stop doing business with you (in other words: cut you off).

i'm struggling to agree with you, not because i know the facts, but because your facts are all over the place.
like in step 1, you list a number of parties. which of these entites does the law require an accuser to contact...all of them, one of them?
i feel as if your throwing a lot of ideas around, not facts...& that in reality the bill has not passed, it still needs to be reconciled, passed & signed, & even then it takes time before the details in how it works become clear because the white house has to decide how to enforce it.
as for me i think its about time the ISPs get the power to prevent piracy sites from moving over the web. only ISPs have the power to throttle this shit because they can see everything that goes through their pipes. considering the giant amount of commerce being destroyed by piracy, some kind of policing of the web is necessary & proper. i cant really assess that the law is overkill until the facts come out.
