Even if a host does not cut you off, SOPA notices can still be used as an efficient Denial of Service tactic. 1 semi-cut-and-paste email from an accuser will require a lot of effort from the accused to counter.

im sorry but bottom line is we are debating hypotheticals. i think most of this will play out among the big entertainment firms (the people pushing the law), the big ISPs, & the big piracy players. i don't presume the law will end piracy. if it makes stolen content harder for surfers to find, i'm good with that.
