| Hey! That's exactly what lobbyists against regulations would say! |

| You can use this deeply dishonest criticism against virtually any point of view you dislike. Someone arguing the opposite position would be a corporate shill pushing for regulatory capture. Everyone who disagrees with you is always a corporate shill. The government should give everyone free gasoline, everyone who says otherwise is a corporate shill only working to protect their profits! |

If the opposition simply seeks to silence you, rather than to argue against you, how are they not malicious? |

| Your mindset is why we got rid out of nuclear energy. Nuclear lobby bad, consumer lobby good. Consumer lobby didn't care that what they wanted was impossible (risk free free, carbon free, cheap energy) and angrily demanded by law things the industry couldn't provide, and got nothing as a result. It might very well be the case for this gaming law as well, that the result would have been less games in Europe as game producer would avoid a market that makes unprofitable demands. |
