There are some interesting benefits from the lawmakers perspective of this practice. It could allow them to cut off a lot of access to specific domains if they contact these DNS providers - this can be used to help in clamping down on illegal sites (such as phishing sites) that use fast flux IP addresses.

Whether the lawmakers would want to make NXDOMAIN substitution practices illegal (especially in countries outside of the US) is unlikely.

Change your DNS to OpenDNS

Agree they are one of the worst offenders - it is not that difficult to set up your own DNS server and link it directly in to the root servers.
