That’s irrelevant. When it comes to legislation, you will want to talk to a person with a legal background, you don’t want to listen to a bunch of artists speculating wildly. Intentionally or not, the video you posted is nothing but fearmongering.
Yes, tomorrow the debate over this law wil give private corps the rights for your works.

Copyright is a inherent right, if you create something then is YOUR idea. period… Is that simple and logic as that.
It’s not an inherent right and it is not a human right. Copyright is a limited (in extent and duration) privilege to control the (re)publishing of creative works. It usually ends 50-70 years after your death or first date of publishing.
With this new law you will have to pay private register corps by giving them everything, including metadata as your clients for example… so, if they have your ideas and your clients, why would they need you ?
You have to give them the data so your work is identifiable. You don’t sign over your rights to them.
As for being private: You actually want that, because if the government charged for the service, they would almost certainly overcharge. Private companies will be competing in offering the service at the lowest rate. If you lived in a country where telephone services used to be in government hands, you would understand the benefit of privatization.
Also, for music it is already the case that private organizations handle a lot of the licensing services. When there’s a de-facto monopoly (like the GEMA in Germany), you run into problems.
Another thing is that this new law allows plagiarism. Any work with a bit of desaturation, resize, color change, etc will be consider a new work.
So it will be much easier for them to steal your works.

Don’t you think that with today’s internet and technology you can just google a work to find the author ?
No, not necessarily. A lot of images are posted anonymously or out of context. Also, what about all the orphaned works that predate the internet?
Yes, I support Creative Commons and Fair Use… but they are just fine with the current law system, we don’t need private regulations.
There aren’t any private regulations, there are private service providers. You already have private healthcare, private education, private insurance, private energy and water, private telephone/internet services… not saying all of these are fantastic, but if you had any prolonged experience with how government agencies work, you’d probably be asking for it to be private yourself.
Worse part is, if this gets aproved tomorrow in USA… sooner or later it will spread like a virus over the rest world.
That’s probably not necessary. In other jurisdictions, the damages paid in settlements are usually far less outrageous than in the US. At least in the EU there already exist mechanisms that limit liabilities regarding orphan works for libraries.
