To be fair, there's a voluntary anti-copyright infringement plan underway among the top US ISPs that probably won't get underway until after the election. I'm not sure that CISPA is really related to it, but it's at least plausible that this would impact it. The main problem is that nobody is quite sure exactly how the plan is supposed to work, exactly, so you're correct to point out that it's largely guesswork. I'm honestly not sure if there are any privacy laws that would affect it, anyhow. I question whether video rental privacy could even apply to a pirated movie, but who knows? And the plan itself is unknown and subject to change. So there might actually be something there, but I would never argue this one. This argument is weak at best and harmful at worst. Even though big copyright holders have shown scandalous negligence in their DMCA notices and there are good reasons to believe that wide-scale efforts are likely to harm many innocent people, they haven't actually enacted that plan yet and arguing it puts you into a copyright quagmire, so it's best to focus on the more immediate problems with this bill and slough all the weak arguments.
