when there is no burden of proof for someone to take down a site then things get very complicated. for instance this package could be enough to get all of hackage taken down since astrolabe decided they own timezone data[1]. http://hackage.haskell.org/package/timezone-olson-0.1.2 in fact, SOPA and PIPA would make hackage pretty impossible to legally host. Unless the hackage maintainers want to do exhaustive patent and copyright searches on all uploaded code before they allow it to be posted.
