What about when EFF tries to kill bogus patents and trial lawyers lobby against it because they make too much money from bogus patents? Can we blame then lawyers then?

What I'm trying to say is that perhaps the sometimes it's not just the law's fault - but the lawyers also like having said law and abusing it.

Also, this is going to get even worse if Obama has his way with the new "enhanced" CFAA law that can jail people even for breaking a company's ToS.
