My point is that’s a field of political power that even well-off members of the working class like computer programmers have zero access to. You will never affect a law which protects capital interests like the DMCA by writing your senators and congresspeople.


Sure, but you might hosting fundraising dinners, or making donations the NGOs that do have K-street lobbyist on staff. Both are activities professional-class software engineers have access to support.


I would love to see the lobbying success rate of any NGOs which may exist to repeal laws which protect capital interests.
