Bill looks good to me and won't affect our company. I think the bill should be extended though to non-internet transactions as well. I got bamboozled by magazine subscriptions that autorenew themselves even though I never consented to, the consent was in the form of an opt-out scheme.
Nothing worse than buying something for $5 and suddenly they are deducting $49.95 from your bank account every 30 days. Hopefully this bill criminalizes that practice. If as a side effect, I have to reenter credit card numbers into legit sites like amazon, that's the price I pay and its no big deal.
Regarding the companies whose schemes this bill addresses, if they all go out of business, and have their board of directors and corporate attorneys taken out and shot by a firing squad at dawn, that would be a net gain for society. (Reader's Digest, I'm looking at you.)
