I wonder if they will invite 5:1 pro-SOPA vs anti-SOPA witnesses at the hearing again, or maybe they'll make it 10:1 this time, seeing how last time that strategy "failed".
That being said, I really hope they invite someone that isn't from a corporation at the hearing, like people from EFF. At the end of the day the corporations will follow their own profit incentives. If that aligns with the regular people's interest or not it's besides the point.
I agree with the spirit of your comment, but it's important to keep in mind that similarly to corporations, non-profits will follow their own non-profit incentives: often irrational, impractical, borderline fanatical beliefs which may or may not align with regular people's interests.
This is exactly why it's so important to invite many different groups under one roof and get all possible perspectives out in the open. Everyone will follow their own interests which may or may not align with the interests of regular people, but somewhere in the middle of that, a pragmatic approach to the problem can be found.
I agree with having multiple sides at the table. I'm just saying I don't want one side to overwhelm the other, and I don't want them to invite only from the Corporations, too. It just shows that the politicians only care about what the Corporations that pay them say.
