How about a law that says that publishers are not permitted to implement features that prevent fair use of their products? A proactive assertion that fair use is a right associated with sale of any copyrighted work --- as a provision of the uniform commercial code (law(s) governing retail transactions)?

That would (in essence) be an "anti-DRM" law.

At least that's what I hope is meant by "anti-DRM legislation."
