These Laws need to work both ways; if your ISP takes down your content because of a takedown notice, and it later proves to not be applicable, then you should be able to sue the person who filed it and your ISP for the same sort of exorbitant damages that the MPAA/RIAA claim .
So hypothetically an employee at an ISP finds the information and hits the delete button. What happens next? Alt: The building with the servers burns down as the ISP is getting the notice that they have material. What are they supposed to do? Run in the building like they are trying to save their cat or pay the fine?Alt: Highly trained/qualified/experienced criminals break into the ISP's network, find the information and hit the delete button. Alt: ISP A uses ISP B's network to connect to the internet. Which shell is the data under?Alt: Neighbor B jumps on Neighbor A's WiFi and sends data through ISP B's network when he has ISP A at his house. Who sent the data?Alt: Botnet sends the data through 1000 computers and 15 ISPs. Should the detecting officer have the "WTF just happened?" look on his face?Alt: Software on sending computer encrypts data with a 1024 byte cypher. How long will it take to decrypt without the key? How long will it take with the key? (And I meant byte not bit)Sorry, but I work in Network security and there are too many flaws with the idealogy of tracking someone through the internet. If they want to be invisible and know how - it will be extremely hard to find them.
