A site such as Youtube could be taken down because someone had uploaded a video of their child singing along to a copyrighted song on the radio. It trades the presumption of innocence for a presumption of guilt, eliminates the right to face your accuser, and basically puts the accused in a position where all their assets can be seized and frozen before they have an opportunity to answer the charges, let alone mount a defense.
It's a bad law.

I doubt that would happen. Again I still think the underlying reason for so many not wanting this is because it will limit what they will have to view and listen to online for free. I highly doubt the recording industry is going to eliminate a video of a kid singing along to a song on the radio.
