Yes, it definitely is a silly bill based on its current wording, but keep this in mind: legal fights over the issue of copyright vs. search and archive internet sites are going to pop up more and more in the future. Copyright law was created in a time when copying a work meant you had to physically copy a material object at some expense to you. These days, that just doesn't happen: it's as cheap to make one copy of a hunk of digital data as it is to make a million copies. Until copyright law is reworked to take into account current technology, things are going to be screwy.
