SOPA might as well be called iDMCA because it basically takes the DMCA Takedown system to an international level. (I.E. If a TLD won't take down a piracy site, ban the whole TLD from the US Internet.) Maybe what we should trade for that is a punitive damages clause added for incorrect DMCA letters.

Holy shit this is creepy!

On or about October 14, 2011, Kim Dotcom sent an e-mail to a PayPal, Inc.representative indicating:

Our legal team in the US is currently preparing to sue some of our competitors andexpose their criminal activity. We like to give you a heads up and advice you not to work with sites that are known to pay uploaders for pirated content. They are damaging theimage and the existence of the file hosting industry (see whats happening with the ProtectIP act). Look at Fileserve.com, Videobb.com, Filesonic.com, Wupload.com,Uploadstation.com. These sites pay everyone (no matter if the files are pirated or not)and have NO repeat infringer policy. And they are using PAYPAL to pay infringers.
