In fact, they have a few suggestions of their own. Turow wants to
cripple the "safe harbors" that protect ISPs and websites from
liability in the actions of their users. One of his improvements
to COICA would "remove the DMCA safe harbors for online and
Internet service providers that provide routine access to online
file-sharing service providers that have not registered an agent
for service of process for copyright infringement actions and for
which the Copyright Office has received at least 50 DMCA take-down
notices."
In other words, Google could be sued for returning infringing
results from The Pirate Bay. In fact, every file-sharing site in
the world would have to comply with US law or risk being
blackballed from Google, Bing, Verizon, Comcast, and AT&T (who
aren't about to risk billions of dollars in potential legal
exposure just to provide access to such foreign sites).
