One organization or individual claims ownership of a piece of content, and you can be closed down without explanation or appeal. Malamud's problems with Paul Brownstein Productions are exactly the kind of thing we will see if SOPA passes, with the difference that the consequences may be even more far-reaching.

Brownstein and his company are closely associated with CBS so maybe that's the reasoning behind the claim.  It looks like there might be content in there from the CBS program Wild America.
