Please read the bill, not just EFF's summary of the bill. To be covered under CISPA, the information must be stored or transmitted on a protected system, and whatever the violation is, it can't be either a consumer terms of service agreement or a consumer licensing agreement.

Additionally, published content isn't confidential.

...published content isn't confidential.

Unless you happen to increment a public-facing URL in a numeric fashion...

No, that wouldn't do it.

There are just easier ways to string someone up for copyright infringement if you really wanted to than CISPA.

I've read the bill, but I'm not a lawyer, so maybe I misunderstood.

Could you please point out the text of the bill that you're describing here?
