Short version: Now in addition to normal courts plus the DMCA there'd be this new weird copyright quasi-court. By my read if notice is served and you don't respond within 60 days you could get hit with a $15,000 fine as default judgement. Sounds really easy to abuse.

UNPLANNED OUTAGE: We have received reports that the slime dot global service is currently unavailable. We have investigated the issue and have confirmed that the slime is simply taking an unplanned sad nap. We will gently boop the goop & share further updates as they are available.

We even got yiffs and cute rumbles down at Vloelei's Pitch-Shifted Vulpine Emporium on East 27th and Holiday, look for the jellyfish!
