The DMCA and Sonny Bono Act both were signed by Clinton in October of 1998.
Zero legislation passing with that President and Congress would have been a good thing then too. Had they done nothing, things that should have expired into public domain that should have and it would be legal to have a Linux distribution with DVD playback in the USA.

People with party affiliations need to bark back at their own parties about these issues rather than point fingers to the other side. It's a two party problem, and it's way more constructive to fix the problem on the inside than to yell from across the street.
