Where do you see that?

Anyway, this is a horrifying bill. It deserves a lot more attention than it's getting.

Apparently the databases in the bill are "voluntary" and he wants to make them mandatory.

No, he said he opposes the bill as an infringement of privacy and wants internet piracy measures passed which threaten privacy as little as possible. Granted, that's still too moderate hero for me, but he opposes the bill from the right side.

Wrong, he wants mandatory government databases instead of "voluntary" on-site databases, because obviously the government is so much more concerned with your privacy than those evul corporations.

I did read the damn press release.  Once you get past all the fluff, two lines stick out:

You must be logged in to read this quote.

But I'm sure the "independent Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board" will protect us.
