No, Trisphee couldn't just change its rules. We would have to MODERATE EVERYTHING. We would have to pre-screen every post for infringing material before we allow it to be visible. If an "infringing" post were up for, say, twelve hours (let's say that the section moderator went to bed), and that thread got 25 views in that time... Well, what happens if a spambot comes by and posts a bunch of links to movie downloads? Let's say there were links to five different Disney movies. If each of these movies costs $20 to buy on DVD, then 25 views times 5 movies times 20 dollars means that under SOPA section 201 we would be guilty of $2,500 in copyright infringement. Presto, Fenris is now a felon, because she knowingly chose not to make Trisphee pre-filter infringing content.
