There seems to be a good supply of legislators that are willing to take donations for laws that benefits special interests at the expense of the many.

If this legislative problem persists I believe there are only three ways of fighting back:

Entrepreneurship: inventions that speed up the demise of the companies funding this and remove the dependency legislators have on special interests.

Legislation: increase cost of enforcement. Donate to legislators that increase friction to these processes by adding requirements and process to:

      - the submitter of a request (e.g a copyright holder). 
      - the processor of a request (e.g the FBI)
      - the executor of a request (e.g the dns system)
Technology: make the laws unenforceable by:

      - making information untrackable (e.g making it X%      
        likely that trackable information is incorrect) 
      - changing the trust model of the internet (e.g replacement to dns).
