Well, the proof of the pudding will be in the enforcement order , which will come out in October. I expect a lot of ISPs the world over will tailor its anti-piracy policies in accordance with this order, in order to forestall lawsuits.
Generally, pirate sites are pretty easy to identify and it won't take much investigation to establish that they traffic in mostly copyright-infringing material.
This approach is going to work much better than suing individual consumers or closing down individual sites. There are going to be privacy issues, but hey, if pirates didn't pirate, we wouldn't have to worry about this.
