"If you want to oppose this law (and I think that would be a good idea), the argument needs to be based on economics"
Exactly, that's a very good thought indeed. Why should the 4 billion dollar entertainment industry be allowed to cripple the 40 billion dollar tech industry? Which is more important to our GNP and our economy. It does not make economical sense whatsoever. If anything, the tech industry should be lobbying harder and telling the weaker entertainment industry where they can shove it. If you include this point, when you write your congress critters, then you may get somewhere. If you talk fair use or constitutional rights then you are wasting your time.
