To be clear, I'm not saying it's a good argument. OP just grossly mischaracterized it.

The main issue with this is that it would either A. Be massively open to abuse in the same way that YouTube is now, but would come with greater penalties in that you can lose Internet access. Or B. Force your ISP to do a copyright analysis every time they receive a report.

Every illegally downloaded book is a lost sale

This is straight out of 2007. What an awful position to take.

And that's fucking wild about someone fighting you over your own music. The DMCA is a fucking joke.
