How can the passing of the #DMCA be explained by anything other than supreme stupidity, ignorance or malice?

(That is mostly a rhetorical question, I'm ranting bad laws that still degrade my quality of life even now as they have for decades.)

All the defenses I've ever heard of #copyright tend to boil down to the last two.

@lispi314 I don't think the DMCA could even pass today without getting a lot of backlash (i.e. SOPA, EARN IT).

@olives Thank goodness the public has learned, a slight bit.

I'd rather prefer if said learning hadn't come from having to deal with the consequences of letting it pass.
