If this law passes, it will last approximately three days until someone gets a lawyer to send a C&D to Netflix's payment system. All it takes is one musician claiming that a soundtrack is infringing and Netflix fails to take measures to investigate that infringement before allowing movies to be downloaded to crash their whole industry.
That, or someone will go after Google for helping people find infringing material, and Google's response will be, "okay, we'll GO AWAY. Bring on your lawsuit... we'll wait."
Two days of internet-without-Google would get the whole law thrown out. Because while geeks & hackers can find other search engines, business execs can't.
