Why wouldn't a hard copy of the GPL suffice ?
Because such laws are usually made by direct command from BSA and
contain specific wording.
I heard some similar scary things about a law in my country (Romania)
where exist a national registry for computer programs and you are
supposed to use only software registered there. I don't know much about
it as I am not an expert in law, but it seems the law is ignored by
users and not enforced against free software (so far).

The using of software in business and production environment can be a
subject for legislative regulation. It can lead to some legal troubles
of using of distributions like Fedora.
Recently the appropriate laws in my country (Russia) have been
significantly toughened. Now the police can check for illegal software
usage by their own initiative (without request from the owner). The tax
inspection demands that software should be registered at accounts
departments.
