It isn't this one that worries me, it is the precedent it sets. BT are unlikely to want to go to court over every frivolous take-down notice they get, so it will end up being at the sole discretion of large corporations which sites people are allowed to see.
Plus, if nzbwhatever do come up with an easy to use widget to bypass the IWF filters that will open the gates for lots of nefarious uses. I can't help feeling that's not a price worth paying just to inconvenience a few unauthorised downloaders for a few weeks.
