While I agree to a certain extent, the problem is that these laws are typically crafted by people with little to no experience about the problem they are writing it for -- and then you have the lobby factor providing assistance, guidance and input on how to craft it. The DMCA is a perfect example of this -- a good law in theory, a completely exploitable one in practice.

Worse, it's been exploited for years, and everyone knows its flaws and yet it has not been amended to close the holes. With Google a big lobbyist for safe harbor with YouTube, I don't see it getting closed anytime soon.
