I think the Attorney General has the power to send stop and desist letters to third parties as well, such as advertising businesses. I'm wondering if that would cause businesses and websites to engage in self-censorship as well or outright blacklisting imposed by advertising firms? There may be no discussion over whether a site violates copyright law. In a bid to keep things operational, advertising firm A might tell website B to remove links and affiliations from this list of websites as they may potentially violate copyright law. It might not be the case if they go to court, but yah, just in case... don't disrupt our advertising business...
