No, they don't (and if they did, they'd obviously be wrong). It's a shame you weren't willing to weigh in with your subjective opinion. I would have been interested to hear it.

In answer to your question, no, I don't think Congress anticipated digital streaming in the 70s.

As for DCMA reform, I'd favor less protection for rights holders, not more. If that leads music's fat cats to quit making music, so be it. Music will still exist.
