Judge Alsup isn’t wrong. Yet Disney routinely writes its own copyright laws and has Congress pass them. Musk is just trying to cut out the middle step.

    disney isn't inventing laws; congress is passing laws, which is how it's supposed to work.

    lobbying has been how laws get passed for years; it's how most civil rights got passed.

    Choosing to miss the forest for the trees here, I see. Being pedantic only brings something to the table if someine doesn't know the details you're being a pedant over.

    Everybody here knows that legislative bodies pass laws.
