That means if your biller chooses to continue doing business with you, it risks being taken to court over the (alleged) IP rights violation.

I would like to clarify something.
If X contacts your host with a SOPA notice accusing you of harboring illegal content, the host has 5 days to contact you to tell you to remove the content, and even if you send PROOF to the host of your rights to have the content on your site, they will still shut you down?
Would not the host contact the accuser and say "the person has written proof he has the rights to display that content, here it is." and be done with it?
At this point the accuser can deny reality and sue the host, but where will that get them?
Furthermore, is there no penalty for issuing a FALSE accusation?
