Something like the DMCA with the BALANCE Act seems to be a good thing overall. Getting rid of the DMCA entirely would please me, but only if it were judged to be unconstitutional; having it repealed would just put us back in essentially the position in which it got passed in the first place. A better legislative exercise is to produce an intermediate position such that fair use is protected but copyright holders won't feel too threatened.
