I cannot agree with this.  Lobby groups would come out of the walls,
most of which would be supported by companies like Apple who would
like to see very restrictive laws in place.  The programming community
(at least that part of it that is concerned by these lawsuits) does
not represent a sufficently sizable body to effectively lobby Congress
via a letter campaign.

Existing laws are your best bet.
