With appropriate dispensations for non-commercial, entertainment, contracted production, and small businesses, I think it would be a good thing. I'm not sure that having all those holes wouldn't make such a law meaningless though. I'm also not sure that the largest and wealthiest companies wouldn't lobby to get legislation raising the barrier to entry and making the software ecosystem that much worse than it already is. Brain-computer interfaces and other advances (eye/motion tracking, non-invasive brain/nerve/muscle-monitoring sensors, voice input, etc) might make all this inconsequential if they end up coming to fruition, too.
