Is the implication that the public is the same thing as a narrowly interested group of people? If so, I reject.

  No, but anyone in the public could potentially become part of such a group. So, what they disallow for what they consider a special group they are also disallowing for themselves.

    Yes, that is essentially how laws and government work. I give up my own individual rights to extort the public, and in exchange I get the security of knowing I won't be exploited.

      The question is who is exploiting whom in this situation.
