1 edit | Let's see if I have this right... A company (or companies) lobbies for a set of rules attempting to obtain favor on its/their behalf. The company's CongressCritter and others like him (her?), pass the bill that the company lobbied to get. The company now finds that, to its surprise and chagrin, someone other than it is making a nice profit by adhering to the letter of the law that the company lobbied for (and given the way Washington works, a law that company-funded lobbyists likely helped draft), and now the company says that this is a bad thing???
You'll pardon me, I trust, if I do not shed a tear for them...
