Regulation as Corrupted Lobbying
Definition
The political mechanism where industries threatened by technological change lobby Congress to pass laws protecting them, converting public interest arguments into private interest protection. This pattern has repeated throughout history (railroads lobbying against trucks, Edison against independent filmmakers, content industry against p2p), and succeeds when powerful interests have asymmetric access to legislators.
