Guess who is the guy who appointed like a dozen ex **AA people and lawyers into the DoJ? I'll give you a hint, his name starts with Oba

Having some makes sense, as it's good to have all view points at least mentioned, and these guys are the ones that know the intricacies best.

But you really only want them if they can turn it off, and man, it can be hard to turn your particular viewpoint off, especially when it pays you. During my last degree I had a bigshot entertainment lawyer (music, specifically, representing artists not businesses) come speak. It actually got a little ugly, as he was adamant against such stupid things. There was a very large culture clash in the room, as he basically said all consumers are greedy putzes that do not deserve music. Can't remember the specifics anymore, but he turned the crowd hostile for even wanting digital distribution.
