A democracy is supposed to be the rule of the People, not of the Companies.
All this lobbying just serves to pervert democracy by bending to the needs of the few (the rich billionaires that have the money to make their point of view heard) and ignore the needs of the many (all those blokes who don't have the time or the money to go to Washington to complain about their 401K going to hell and who cares about this copyright thing is it going to put food on the table ?).
Not counting, of course, all those who simply do not have any interest in politics because it's all about corruption/they always lie anyway/put your own excuse here.
As some famous guy said, all Evil needs to win is the Good guy do nothing.
What an oxymoron... I haven't seen much creativity in pop music in about 20 years. This whole ploy basically sounds like RIAA asking prospective candidates, "can we buy you?" Ugh, can you make it any less blatant?

Hmm, so this commitment would include paying the writers would it MPAA/NBC/ABC/CBS/ETC?
