I think there would be 1000-2000 lobbyists at a minimum contacting these guys every week, lobbying for tighter copyright laws and aggressive actions against countries that don't comply with US copyright.

The lobbyists probably have budgets in the millions and they use that money to wine and dine officials and buy them plenty of nice things. I hate to be so pessimistic, but democratic principles seemed to have walked out the door in the US in the last 20 years. We have the illusion of democracy but it's becoming a corporatocracy (see how banks are escaping financial sector regulation despite bringing the US to it's knees and receiving all of those bailouts).
