The DMCA wasn't bad because of safe harbor. It is bad because of its onerous anti-circumvention provisions. I actually think DMCA safe harbor is reasonably well-balanced, and is the reason why SOPA is entirely unnecessary. DMCA safe harbor is adequate. SOPA is a petulant fit by the media industry, not good law.
