I didn't see such a statement in the BSA text.

It is clear to me that they are talking about special sites where
unlicensed software is offered.

I do not see major problems with the BSA text. Copyright needs
to be enforced, and enforcement needs a lobby, just as the interests
of those affected by overly zealous enforcement also need a lobby.

Problems arise mainly when BSA starts lobbying in *favour* of
software piracy, such as that perpetrated by Kodak against Sun
or by Ampex against Sony etc.
