This is true. I'm not intimately familiar with the Libertarian Party,
but from my interviews with their officials, they would have opposed
the DMCA.

Instead, as we know, the Senate agreed to it unanimously, and the
House approved it by voice vote then unanimously bypassed a procedural
step that would have delayed the DMCA's enactment. All in the finest
"bipartisan" manner, of course.
