I'm sure they do, all six of them, especially when they have their annual conference in the back booth at Denny's. My point was that they're a tiny minority of the people making the argument that publishers and writers are doing a lousy job of adapting to technology. They're also a tiny minority of the people pushing for copyright reform. The largest fair-use movement, Creative Commons,
is a form of copyright.
There's no reason that exploring new business models has to be threatening to or mutually exclusive with copyright, royalties or advances. Your "anti-copyright" movement is a paper tiger.
