>Internet filtering (not allowed to be a requirement), "three strikes" 
>policies (encouraged but not mandatory), takedown procedures (required), 
>and ISP safe harbors (also required).

>being negotiated as an executive agreement, meaning that it can be adopted 
>without Congressional consent but may not alter US law. Thus, 
>unsurprisingly, the leaked document takes the DMCA worldwide.
