At the same time it's also true and provable that uncle Bill spends his money lobbying various domestic and international organizations to further his and by proxy the owner class'es interest.

It's provable that he seems to do it to further his own interests, but it's also entirely possible (if I personally think unlikely), that he lobbied for that path because he thought it was the more practical path that was more likely to succeed or gain traction for whatever reason.

Or he may have done it because he has a vested interested in maintaining IP law, or maybe he has friends who do who convinced him it was important, and he did it because he wanted to please his friends.

Or maybe he did it because he was really conniving and constantly thinking specifically about class principles and how to fuck the lower classes. But I suspect the reality is simpler.
