Copyright holders should have influence over the direction of the law because it their work that said copyrights are protecting. he actually makes that point himself when he uses the case of the people living around a military base not having a say in national defense. He is right, they shouldn't have a say because they are profiting from the base, the base is the copyright owner and therefore should have a say.
my god the insane limits you will stretch something to make a false analogy.

the base is a government institution, it the analogy it the act itself.

the people are the copyright holders since they get the benefit of the act.
