There's a fun example
here about the results (in the U.S.) about what happens when you don't balance the rights of content producers against that of the public.
Essentially, the US government, with no notice or warning, seized a blog’s domain (and put a page up on the domain indicating that the blog was associated with piracy). The government never arrested anyone, never let a trial happen, and filed everything about the case under seal, not even letting the blog's lawyers talk to the judge presiding over the case. And it continued to deny any due process at all for over a year, before finally just releasing the domain to the blogger and pretending nothing happened.
The blog had nothing to do with piracy, but did have a similar domain name to sites that did and was caught up in an ICE sweep. It's actually a very interesting case as the government was permitted to get multiple extensions from court without having to serve notice on the defendant's lawyers.
