When large agricultural firms lobby congress, they always talk about the "small farmer". Similarly, with patent law, you have huge businesses talking about small firms or single inventors.

Which is to say, they lie a lot. Take it with a gain of salt.

Unfortunately they also frequently get non-profits to be their mouth pieces, which makes finding some sort of unbiased alternate viewpoint difficult. As a practical matter, I wouldn't trust anything the Federalist Society says.

Important to note that the EFF is also a nonprofit, which is funded by big tech.
