That's the issue, how much does it take before italy decides a start up competing with youtube is a piracy site because a user posts a chunk of pirated content?
The issue is that instead of following the existing due process of law to get sites like that removed the correct way; they're looking for easy, blanket attacks to apply with minimal effort and time. It's not about protecting copyright holders, it's about the money of a few corps taking over the law... because this is all that is.
