It's impossible to enforce copyright thoroughly on the Internet. Any website that accepts user-submitted content is bound to have at least a few pieces of infringing material. Nobody can shut them all down. Which means that the powers that be can pick and choose which sites to target.
The fact that everyone else is breaking the law is not an excuse for you to break the law, so you can't complain when the feds choose to target you instead of somebody else. For all you know, you could actually have been targeted because of your views on Proposition 19 or whatnot, and that infringing spam comment you didn't even know existed is just a convenient excuse.
Sounds like tinfoil hat? Ask somebody from China, Iran, or any other questionable regime. Heck, ask a South Korean, they made a similar law last year.
