both google and paypal are very aggressive about cutting off piracy sites. there's no need to put it into law, simply inform them and they will voluntarily take it down.

in any case, laws don't work that way. you can't just get the sections you like. you get the whole thing.



If PayPal or Google take down a site, it shifts liability to them. Addressing liability is a big part of SOPA and the DMCA before it.

And you're right: laws don't work that way. But debate over pending, proposed legislation most certainly does.
