I'm sorry, but do you honestly believe that the specific provisions of this bill matter? Do you honestly believe that whatever it says won't be stretched to justify the most invasive and overbearing applications? The corporations under discussion here--whatever leeway they may have to opt-in or opt-out--are the same enlightened creatures who have (for example) interpreted the DMCA in all of our best interests.

This is not about CISPA. This is about drilling the message into Congress that we don't need any new regulation of the Internet--or any expansion of the post-9/11 surveillance regime, period--no matter how well-intentioned.
