Haha, yes, this exactly.
It's a smoke and mirrors attempt to raise awareness of the "dangers of file sharing" and so on amongst users of the internet with the aim of scaring people away from these terrible activities.
Never going to be enforced successfully even if it's passed, may as well put it out of its misery.
the music industry supports this legislation, which really just about says it all imo

Just last month the Us embassy called up a minister in India when he tried to somewhat censor Facebook/Google and other sites and even Hillary Clinton came out to make a statement.
Even in India which has far far less Internet penetration percentage, the pressure made the govt. somewhat backtrack and not even implement one real bad existing law(tbough High Court seems to be trying now on petition), can't see how this type of bonkers law can pass and then be implemented in the U.S once enough fuss is made about it.
Because the US is the dominant force in anything regarding the internet.
