He warns that "we shouldn't cripple the Googles of the world by imposing copyright chill on the very basis of their architecture. In fact, they perform a very useful service to copyright owners by enabling easy detection of infringement.

If this law is bought in to effect there will be a lot of sites, businesses, educational facilities etc severely impacted. I can only think that someone will object to this legislation in such a way that it is either re-written or scrapped or the impact of it could be global.
