My question is what has happened to the comments that came from people who aren't "skin-in-the-game industry biggies?" Surely more than 150 letters have been sent to the address (physical and email) that has been posted here and other places around the internet. If there's no filtering process, a few pro-settlement letters have made it through, right? I'm not saying there's any funny business going on. I'm just saying that the numbers don't quite jive here. Is the DoJ accepting and considering/including all comments sent to the official addresses? If so, they have more than 150 (on the date of that particular claim). If they're not... what's the criteria for inclusion? That's all I'm asking. Last edited by DiapDealer; 06-13-2012 at 10:05 AM. |

It is just the illusion that control has been put in the people's hands.

Ok three. I can see three.
But then again, would you take the time to compose and send a formal comment if you didn't care? I'm back to 2. Last edited by DiapDealer; 06-13-2012 at 10:24 AM. |

My guess is that form letter was taken as a single Comment with multiple signatories. |

Because let's face it: if 150 is a lot then it's obviously not a "come one, come all" situation. And if it's not a "come one, come all" situation, how does one make it past the velvet rope? Last edited by DiapDealer; 06-13-2012 at 10:50 AM. |

I would be surprised if many readers submitted a comment. I would expect that the vast majority of comments have come from industry folks. That is the way these things tend to work.

I think it's down to the fact that a lot of folks BS on the Internet, but don't take the trouble to compose a formal response. That takes a lot of time and energy-which most people don't want to do, since this settlement isn't crucial to their business, the way it would be for an author, a bookseller, or a publisher. |
