Fair enough, which may be an overstatement... it cannot easily limit access to specific content...

   http://foo.com/some/content //blocked
   http://foo.com/download/content?id=baz //blocked
For the first url, without a querystring, adding one probably shouldn't affect the block.. in the second should adding more query parameters be not blocked? what about changing the ID, should all content be blocked now?

It's a huge technical challenge to block this content in compliance with the law as it stands... let alone to expect companies to proactively block potentially infringing content... even Google doesn't do very well at this and they have far more resources than most.
