I think the danger with encouraging lawmakers ignorant of how computers work to make more laws is that they will not actually improve things.

I'm not sure I'd worry about that... if the proposed laws were worse, then I think you'd see another SOPA/PIPA style reaction.

And then you have to consider the chances that a response from the administration will actually start an investigation / reformation.

For better or worse though, I guess I'm willing to see where it goes.
