If i don't have to fear losing my copyright for making a bogus takedown i will mass mail takedowns to every single person who put up content that follows the design principles i teach
let those "infringers" prove absolutely that they actually came up with the solution completely by themselves. The burden will be on them instead of me.

There will be no penalty for bogus complaints,
thus they will be able to use it as a "process" that can damage anyone they aim it at. Innocent or otherwise.
Just like many bogus laws and processes in the US court system. As mentioned earlier, republicans often misuse the court systems to rid themselves and others of any candidate that they do not want running or re-elected. There are a shit ton of cases where they target a candidate and draw them out for years in litigation on totally bogus claims, draining their bankroll, resources, and will to run again for re-election.
Even if that is the only crooked angle that arises from SOPA, it will be a serious tool that can be used against anyone who is deemed "un-desirable" to the governments agenda.
All anyone needs to know, is that it only takes this bill to pass, and one clever tiny little loophole for the government to exploit, and the bill will be an invaluable tool to propagate their constant misuse of power.
If you only know one thing for certain, which is the constant misuse of power by the government, and their endless tactics of albeit clever but constant fucking over of the people via fine print, then you will be aware of their consistent track record in the direction of misuse of power and laws to take advantage. Once your aware of this, then you can predict their motives for the future. Which means, people shouldn't even have to read this bill to know it's fucked, they only need to know the general theme/category of it.
