Correct me if I'm wrong here, but isn't this what the DMCA safe harbor protection is for? They can't just pull their domain if they are responding in a timely manner to reasonable DMCA takedown requests.

I think the point is that they are looking to give greater remedies than DMCA. You would now be able to complain about a website to those doing business with it, and they are supposed to stop doing business with it. If it's foreign, anyway.
