for this film to serve as a semi-expose' of the contemporary lobbying industry (tobacco and others), i'm just really surprised that they would even put out a film that has such a heavy critique of corporate behavior, influence in washington, business marketing ethics in particular.

Even Hollywood has a Lobby in D.C. The MPAA, RIAA other organizations all lobby the government. Why do you think copyright violations carry such outrageously high fines and jail time? Who do you think is pushing SOPA and CIPSA

Hollywood loves to extend copyright laws.

It's that man again!!
