Interesting - who said that DMCA or the Communications Decency Act or the Patriot Act were tech friendly?
Please note that the DMCA (in addition to the infamous circumvention clause), *also* included the ISP safe-harbor exemptions in 17 USC 512. That's quite arguably been a *very* tech-friendly piece of legislation - who wants to be an ISP if you could be sued for material one of your users put up and the existence of which you were unaware? (If you think being an ISP and getting handed a '512 takedown order' sucks, consider that before the DMCA, the alternative was that you got handed papers that named *you* as a party to the lawsuit along with your (probably) John Doe user(s)...)
