I really hate it when entrenched interests manipulate the government to prop up a business model that's becoming a thing of the past. It's happening with telephone companies and the recording industry, too.
It happens all around us. A more mundane example is the brick and mortar restaurant business fighting the proliferation of food trucks and other street food. And they're often successful because they're cozy with the local lawmakers and councilpersons.
Make a good product and people will buy it. I don't understand what's so hard about that concept.
