I completely agree with you, but I think the issue with something like this is the sheer volume of lobbying power that companies like Nintendo and Disney have to stop it.
Make more individuals care, outside of just people on HN and such.
Ban lobbying and think tanks
So it shouldn't be legal to write your Congressional rep and tell them you want them to do X?
It shouldn't be legal to hire groups of professionals to do that, it also shouldn't be legal to send your representatives gifts, take them on vacations, or out to dinner
Writing them a letter is fine
How you can police certain people not being allowed to dine with others?
So a group like EFF shouldn't be able to petition Congress?
