Given how totally "every entity for itself" the industry was, and still is, over Acacia, I don't see a remote possibility for any effective industry counteraction.
I'd love to be pleasantly surprised, though.

Respectfully, this is the first time I feel I have to disagree with you on this one. As we speak, there is a massive meeting of the all the top 1st ammendment lawyers and they WILL issue a comment on 2257.
The DOJ (by law) is not even allowed to READ the comments till after 8/24. Aftter that they have it has to be considered. If they just ignore this (or even give that impression) -- the 1st amendmant guys will take action by way of a suit against the goverment.
It is their world and we are just living in it, but never underestimate the top legal minds in the US. They are not working for the DOJ...they are driving expensive cars in Beverly Hills and they work for us.
