Even if they do (which I haven't heard of, but I could be wrong), the trend right now is more corporate power, less governmental power. As I said before, we are already seeing this trend, what with corporations able to circumvent countries' environmental codes and whatnot. It will only get worse.
it is not corporations *ignoring* government powers (or "circumventing" them, what a nice term in light of DMCA). it is corporations using government as their executive branch. take a look at DMCA, take a look at the european proposal I have in my hands (gotta search that link, it's document # 9512/00) - tell me they were NOT written by corporate lawyers.
