copyright claims would also lose all statutory damages claims (since your capping damages to actual damages on the fair use side).
That a serious level of gimping your going to have to accept to truly be equal.

I just want fair. Fair is fair.
I don't want to see Sony use a SOPA type law to take down a little torrent site that is making its owner $50 per month only to then have the takedown be ruled wrong or "bogus" and have Sonly then lose potentially hundreds of millions in copyrights while the site owner lost a few hundred dollars.
