If that's the case the Bill of Rights has been violated for years! What would happen if you broke into a Sony game studio and trashed the entire place? If Sony chooses to file charges, you're going to jail. Now if you post copyrighted material, say Uncharted 3 code, online with this new bill Sony will have the power to file charges if they want and handicap/take down your website. How is the first one ok if the second is not?

No judicial oversight. It isn't a matter of due process, it's a matter of whining to the Justice Department and watching them do stuff for you.

Due process has long been a central tenet of Rule of Law, which this violates flagrantly

Whining? It's informing that someone is breaking the law. So if I illegally grow and sell pot from my front yard you think I should just keep doing it until my court date rolls around? I know these examples are pretty odd but they help get the brain thinking.

I'm glad your thinking about this instead of just screaming "this is censorship, this is bad!"

Last time i'm going to bother to say this. The government's right to take you to court hinges upon the idea of judicial oversight at every phase: search warrants, arraignments, trials, sentencing.

Herein, the law is applied thus: "Hey Justice Department! Shut this site down!" "Okay."
