Presidential election scandal notwithstanding, the politicians that actually are elected typically represent the interests of those who paid them. Laws demanded by the content industry, like the CBDTPA and the Berman bill, were bought and paid for by -- the content industry. It would be naive to assume that this kind of plutocratic politics only applies to the copyright problem. The oil and arms industry, the pharmaceutical and insurance companies, the car and fruit corporations, they all have their own powerful lobby groups and decide real life politics. It is no coincidence that all members of the Bush administration have heavy ties to big name corporations.
