With his argument about a military base and the people living around it he claims the people living around it/off it should not have a say in military policy. I agree. He says they shouldn't have it because those people are the copyright holders I'm simply pointing out that he is wrong. The people living around the base are not the copyright holders. The government/military is. The people living around the base are simply people making money off of the copyrighted material. IE they would be like theater owners, video stories etc.
so the government is the policy maker who is being influenced in his analogy

who is the policy maker being influenced in yours.

your making up an analogy to justify copyright holders having a right to influence the law maker that doesn't have a policy maker to influence.

In his argument about Blackwater it is the same thing. No, you don't want Blackwater making military policy but not because they are the copyright holders. Again, they aren't. The military/government is and the conflict that Blackwater is hired to fight/work within would be the copyrighted item which makes Blackwater simply hired help.

exact same question

who is the policy maker being influenced in your anology.
