It's how the game is played until congress restricts or regulates such influence.
An analogy would be a voter refusing to vote because representatives are not representing the voter. Self-reinforcing view (or exiology).

Are you meaning to endorse congress restricting or regulating such influence?
I'd see that as a far worse threat than SOPA. (Maybe you don't disagree.)
If such conservative influence against congress was regulated, then the reputation cost of such blackouts would rise a lot due to the perception that such interests are trying to influence congress. ergo, uneconomical to blackout.
