I think they'd just like them to stop it. (Without being concerned about how. If the only way to stop it happening is to cease operation, they'd be quite happy - and it'd be a strong discouragement to any equivalent service).
I'm puzzled though, 'cos Ars had a very
similar story this year, where the court rejected all of these filtering measures as either pointless or over-broad.
Sounds like they're expected to set up a Google Alert and take down anything that people publicly link to as belonging to one of these publishers. I'd think that would work quite well actually... and I'd have thought 150k would cover the labour costs.
