putting the content in the public domain benefits everyone.
it benefits the site who was wrongfully accused because they can now sell/give away that content to recover their loses.
It benefits the public who was denied access to that legit site that should not have been blacklisted.
And it only punishes the copyright holder who chooses to abuse the law with the bogus complaint.
It doesn't devalue anyone else's content at all, because good copyright holders still get to keep their copyright.
the key point is that this kind of penalty doesn't protect the pirate bay because rogue sites will never be able to prove "that they were wrongfully accused".
BTW
how can you not see that blacklisting an INNOCENT company devalues that INNOCENT companies work too.
