Here's an idea, might be ridiculous: Can you file court papers electronically in the US? What if say youtube, wikipedia, etc had a fully automated SOPA compliance system which automatically filed court papers to have the take down notice 'reviewed' however that works thereby overloading the system. There must be some way to reflect the work back at them and DoS a manual process somewhere in the legal machinery. 'OK we'll do it, but your not going to like it...' fight bureaucracy with more bureaucracy.


Court oversight? In SOPA? Not AFAIK and that's why everyone is so pissed about this.


I don't think lawyers have ever been particularly upset about having more billing clients. I imagine our current glut of law school students would thank them.


Isn't that more or less what RIAA lawyers have been doing, though perhaps not electronically?
