I think we spent a lot of time challenging and trying to dismantle digital property rights in the early consumer internet/P2P era.

You're correct in that the laws most likely to be challenged are those in the way of technological progress. I'd also say the laws that empower a growing state apparatus are also likely to be targeted.

The regulations in question here look like an obvious overstep of government into consumer affairs and a resistance against technological and market progress.

I still don't know how anyone who has ever taken a pre-Uber taxi could make an argument against Uber. The market forces alone they've created have improved service 10X in even non-Uber options.
