Tax-code complexity regulating income is bad enough; tax-code complexity regulating speech is a First Amendment nightmare.
The snippet from the article seems to suggest that the nightmare is due to the special sanctity of the First Amendment as compared to the Fourth. Rather, the nightmare comes from the burden of applying such a complex law as the DMCA with the frequency that would be necessary to enforce its provisions. It's the difference between doing your taxes once (or four times) per year vs. applying the DMCA every single time you turn the radio on.
I like my Fourth Amendment, too, thank-you-very-much.
Don't know why I felt compelled to point this all out.
