Public Petitions The White House To Investigate Chris Dodd & The MPAA For Possible Bribery

from the quid-pro-quo dept

Mon, Jan 23rd 2012 10:16am — Mike Masnick

Late on Friday, we posted a story about how Chris Dodd at the MPAA appeared to be directly threatening politicians who had taken money from Hollywood, but refused to pass SOPA/PIPA. Of course, pretty much everyone expects pay-for-laws type of corruption in politics these days, but it's quite rare for the head of a major lobbying trade group to be so explicit about it. That story went viral in a major way over the weekend -- becoming the most trafficked story on Techdirt... ever. I would doubt that whatever Dodd/the MPAA did reaches to the level of legally actionable... but others aren't so sure. In the comments there's an interesting discussion of the nature of "quid pro quo" in determining if something is considered a bribe. Some point out that Dodd appears to be highlighting the "quo" part, which is where things get dicey.

Pretty soon after the post went up, a We The People petition showed up on the White House's site, asking for a federal investigation of Dodd and the MPAA to see if they were "bribing" public officials. That petition has been gathering an awful lot of signatures all weekend, and it seems quite likely that it will soon reach the required threshold, requiring a comment from the White House. At the very least, I would be interested to see how the White House responds...

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

This could be fun...
To be honest, I don't even care if they actually investigate because at heart, most of us are already "convinced" of their guilt. I doubt any investigation will change our minds if it doesn't come to our preconceived conclusions.

That being said, just getting the White House to respond would be fun as all hell. We could reach new heights of double-speak here people...rivaling even Dark Helmet, DH's Love Child, Marcus Carab, and Hephaestus combined!!!

Get with the signing people! :-)

The DOJ is run by ex content types. If anything happens it will be a slap on the wrist, and a high paying job at the MPAA.

It's been reported that the copyright groups 'invested' into 31 congresscritters in both parties to see this bill passed with out opposition. Even Obama is in on the take if you hear what some of the Hollydud moguls are saying about continuing political donations.

I seriously doubt any of them are going to want DOJ in their business inspection how they are conducting lawmaking for it to gather any support.

This will be handled like most of the We The People petitions. It'll have a lot of nice words about how it can't be done or is not in the interests of the US.

No Stranger to Quid Pro Quo
Chris Dodd is no stranger to quid pro quo arrangement�s. He received a sweetheart deal from Countrywide while he was chairman of the commitee overseeing them. Countrywide as you know was sunk during the banking and Housing crashes. A crash Chris Dodd helped bring about.

It's only bribery if Dodd's money goes directly in their wallets. It's not bribery if it goes into their campaign accounts.

Similarly, it's bribery if you give a congressmen expensive gifts and they don't disclose it in their financial statements. If they forget to disclose it then it's bribery and you both go to jail!

He is so corrupt that he doesn't even realize he is corrupt. To Dodd it is just the normal way of doing business. When he was in congress he voted the way he was paid (dammit). Hence he considered himself an honest politician.

Folks, Everything the MPAA and RIAA have done is probably perfectly legal. It may be immoral, unethical, and down right wrong, but until Congress stops large campaign contributions form wealthy individuals and large corporations it will never end this corruption.

Since Congress benefits the most from this I doubt it will end anytime soon. Unless of course the American people demand it stops and actually puts pressure on their Congressmen and Senators to end this pay for votes system.

To answer a glib question seriously
What about Dodd's freedom of speech?

I know this was more of a flip question aimed at his statement on TV, but this question can also be aimed at the larger issue about lobbying, and money in politics that deserves a comment.

Currently money in politics is protected expression, and honestly I don't have a major problem with that. The money is supposed to buy advertising time, and if the average TV watcher votes for a politician based off an ad that doesn't even have ten percent of the charisma and persuasion of that Slap Chop commerical, than we get what we deserve.

On the other hand, which was the point of the original article and this is why I think the petition is important,the speech (money) does not behold the receiver to obey. In demanding that MPAA contributions should lead to instant compliance, he showed his, and the MPAA's hand. And what a dirty set of cards they were carrying!

Re: Re:
I have been reading that and they seem to be doing it all wrong. Why wait for Congress to approve a Convention that is designed to by-pass their control? That cannot be how the US Constitution is worded.

What needs to be done is this...

1. Contact the Government of all States and point out all the issues they have wanted to have a Convention on. Call for a open topic Convention statement to be sent to Congress all during a month like March 2013.

2. Should Congress receive the 2/3rds required then all States should send a representative to a meeting place during September 2013. You do not need Congress's approval t do this. You may want to host this in Canada.

3. These representatives can then propose and debate how the Constitution and Bill of Rights, and the nature of Congress, and the Administration can be changed. These ideas can then be put to a vote to obtain the required majority.

4. To further increase the legality of by-passing Congress it is recommended that the end proposal is put to the population to decide where the required number of States must approve the proposal for this to become law.

5. Congress is then informed of the changes. Should they refuse to accept this then all elections should be suspended and no bills from the unlawful Congress should be turned into law. Then either you can have the Army expel these traitors from Congress, wait until they give up, or build Congress #2 and bomb Congress #1 into rubble.

6. Convention complete. Long live Democracy.

Interesting. Presumably the value of a donation to a candidate's campaign is the number of votes that can be gained through advertising/organizational expenditures. Does Dodd really expect that to outweigh the cost of angering a large number of voters with a wildly unpopular vote?

I wonder what impact it would have on the MPAA's efforts to buy votes if SOPA opponents were to organize opposition to politicians who accepted MPAA donations while Dodd is still in charge.

Re:
Wooooo hoooo!

I agree with all the comments on this article. It will be interesting to see how the whitehouse and the MPAA play this. Being an election year for Obama and other politicians.

Corporate donations or the people's vote?

Also, we really REALLY need to THANK Rupurt Murdoch for letting Chris Dodd get on Fox News and lose his temper! lmao

"Insert foot in mouth" syndrome can be costly :)

Maybe not, but people should keep signing it to show that that this isn't just some niche cause that only a few people care about. The more names on the petition, the harder it will be for the government to ignore this issue.

I would doubt that whatever Dodd/the MPAA did reaches to the level of legally actionable...

I find that argument irrelevant. By his/their own arguments, copyright infringement is no different than theft of physical property irregardless of legal distinctions. Therefore, by their own rules, what they did was bribery irregardless of whatever fine legal distinctions they may be short of.

This is one of those "unintended consequences" they keep being warned about, but choose to willfully ignore.

If they want to set the rules, I WILL use those rules against them.

Pfffttt, nothing's going to happen.
Sadly, Chris Dodd is a part of the High Court. He could be caught red-handed torturing and killing children in his spare time and nothing would happen to him.

You can forget about him being investigated by the FBI/SS, let alone arrested and jailed.

'Why We Can't Comment

However, consistent with the We the People Terms of Participation and our responses to similar petitions in the past, the White House declines comment on this petition because it requests a specific law enforcement action."

GOLIATH AND HIS BRAVERY!
Kindly, I am full Roman Catholic and a celibate as my wife; for near one decade this October 13, 2012! My family has been separated due to malicious assembly children�s ward people who smeared my reputation! The Jesuit Christopher (Jesus Christ) is not a warrior; and was rightfully a sect leader murdered for spreading ill including 'false;' gospel. By consulting the powerful Funk & Wagnalls Standard Desk Dictionary reviewed American legal by Mr. Sidney I. Landau; Editor-In Chief; contact; the Jesuit "... A member of the Society of Jesus ...;"(a minister of communism) ... a scheming founder; who desired the order of communism distinct from the ... "One who has not adopted Christianity, Judaism, or Islam;" (or any form of communist activity; including 'tele-dating ;')! In Democracy; we are know ledged! To 'assume;' (believe); is further to the communist doctrine!!
"The crusaders comprised military units of Roman Catholics;" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crusades; is real war truth and not belief!! The King of all the German Empire; (1212 �50; Before Crimea); Holy Roman emperor Frederick I; rallied against all communist activity; including "the selling;" of people; 'into;' slavery; (and the mildest; form is dating by religion.
"Sodom;" as per the Old Testament: Genesis; VII: Verse 10; by the Standard Registration and Trade Mark of the Harper & Row Incorporated; "un natural sexual relations ... between male ('or female') persons ... and an animal;" ... was the Holy Crusade by the Holy Roman Catholic Regime.
In Sodom near Gomorrah; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodomy_law; is the truth to the Roman Code of Honor I prescribe: �A sodomy law is a law that defines certain sexual acts as crimes. The precise sexual acts meant by the term sodomy are rarely spelled out in the law, but are typically understood by courts to include any sexual act deemed unnatural. It also has a range of similar euphemisms.[1] These acts typically include oral sex, anal sex and bestiality; in practice such laws have rarely been enforced against heterosexual couples.[2];�!
�History is �set;� incorrect on the true Account of the Son of David!� As, the research: http://www.bib-arch.org/e-features/sodom-and-gomorrah.asp; �While exploring the high fertile banks along the southeastern shore of the Dead Sea, however, the same archaeological expedition discovered the ruins of four towns that had been inhabited during the Early Bronze Age;� this once �fertile Valley of the Dead; as per the Egyptian; Koran; on war campaigning; proves; the �mighty;� Goliath the son; and his father; the Holy Roman Catholic King of Nefertiti �used;� the Arc-of-the-Sun; and �eclipsed;� a Ray of Purple Hue; (the only Catholic color) any-where; and �split;� the �Sodom;� and �Gomorrah;� to Hell!!
Today; the olde; Hebrew State is no longer of Gotland.
Kindly; re-read Scripture of The Old Testament!

�In modern astronomy, a constellation is an internationally defined area of the celestial sphere. These areas are grouped around asterisms, patterns formed by prominent stars within apparent proximity to one another on Earth's � A primordial black hole is a hypothetical type of black hole that is formed not by the gravitational collapse of a large star but by the extreme density of matter present during the universe's early expansion..� With the said respect; a, �dwarf;� Star; can �implode;� like a Hiroshima Hydrogen explosion! The arrival of the Universe is not an accident! The Next closest Constellation must have a �pulse;� that is Sound Navigation and Ranging (S.O.N.A.R); can �map;� to pin-point; accuracy. �Active sonar creates a pulse of sound, often called a "ping", and then listens for reflections (echo) of the pulse � A star system or stellar system is a small number of stars which orbit each other,[1] bound by gravitational attraction. A large number of stars bound by gravitation is generally called a star cluster or galaxy, although, broadly speaking, they are also star systems � Mantle convection is the slow creeping motion of Earth's rocky mantle caused by convection currents carrying heat from the interior of the Earth to the surface.� The �Leo-A;� in the near Galaxy (British for Constellation); is the near to can be photographed friend near. In the last days of Earth; I foresee a Galactic cosmos called the Armageddon. With the help of man that is kind and not kind lie in any communist form including modern and predeceasing worship to the alter of demon; we must study; this Leo!

“director of the Boston Police Crime Laboratory, had realized that samples taken from the crime scene, including semen on a blanket, contained DNA that could be used to identify the killer.” What is deoxyrubenilc acid is stated as acid (DNA) is a molecule that encodes the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living.” According to “police did not have a DNA sample from their prime suspect, DeSalvo, so they resorted to a technique that allows investigators to make matches using family members; one scientific reading is sperm or hair follicles all belong and this man was framed! Albert DeSalvo was really a hired cover agent for the Federal Bureau of Investigation looking for rapists and paedophiles! For proof the true detective had a degree in medicine minor and majoring in criminology with a chemistry interest. If Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a molecule that encodes the genetic instructions the fail point is sperm has no the expression of genes is influenced by how the DNA is packaged in chromosomes, in a structure called chromatin. Base modifications can be involved in packaging, with regions that have low or no gene expression; yet can be proven as another code!
In, “The term sperm refers to the male reproductive cells and is derived from the Greek word (σπέρμα) sperma (meaning "seed"). In the types of sexual reproduction known as an isogamy and zoogamy, there is a marked difference in the size of the gametes with the smaller one being termed the "male" or sperm cell. A uniflagellar sperm cell that is motile is referred to as a spermatozoon;” Motile sperm cells typically move via flagella and require a water medium in order to swim toward the egg for fertilization. In animals most of the energy for sperm motility is derived from the metabolism of fructose carried in the seminal fluid.” If true, however animal sperm; “The spermatozoa of animals are produced through spermatogenesis inside the male gonads (testicles) via meiotic division. The initial spermatozoon process takes around 70 days to complete” Here the investigated victims mostly were with animal DNA; not from Mr. DeSalvo!
Sperm in a ‘healthy’ state is not from any sick being! According to “A with T and C with G, to form units called base pairs. Each base is also attached to a sugar molecule and a phosphate molecule. Together, a base, sugar, and phosphate are called a nucleotide;” the real impregnation is healthy form of Deoxy-Riboflavin in male people. The charm is a molecule that combines with a chain for configuring a code belt. With the right lock-and-key a treasure of wealth of ovary is open for fertilization. Here the most power filled magnet of great interest is able to master her as a father early! The mother ovum holds a yes-or-no to entry. If the master builder of great engineering holds the Master Key; He is in as father! If not the Door closes and all former interest is forbade from her only Womb!
Why the Womb a women’s world is fertile! Here Pregnancy is the development of one or more offspring usually is nine to ten months and should never be advanced! The reason is a type of further growth of the fetus and the development alerts the mother to be of a charge of lubrication opening the mother for delivery!
The reason Girl or Boy is chosen is the male DNA is raised to encoding that favors the child baby to become with the coding of the Ovum! Here the The XY sex-determination system is the sex-determination system; strings of bases contain functioning genes important for male fertility of the Y; Hensley; the X chromosome discovered in 1890 by Hermann Henking Clarence Erwin McClung, that the X chromosome determines sex, was set by medical science that he formation of the male gametes are racing healthy sperm!
Finally the miracle of life begins. Normally breasts swell and weight is endued! A new scent is apparent for the husband! The wife begins more increased appetite and grows more strength for baby’s development!
Finally; at birthing careful nurses with doctors viewing watch the mother open her vagina. The head of the girl or boy is slowly with pressure entering her and his new world waiting to scream in delight for mom and dad.
The baby is out now and warm with hair and new to her and his amazing world and dad is the first to kiss her or him. The life connection of nutrition the umbilical cord is a parted and corded. The baby now is forwarded to a Head nurse for a protective incubator for protection on scourge. Later mother meets dad and smiles with pride on his new baby!
(The staff work 24-hours on the day with top security to ensure her or his time following birth).
For all those I am one the best of birth to your new up-coming babies.

Oil
The world has 53.3 years of oil left is researched here where the argument states The overall cause for that surge in oil reserves is that America's shale oil plays -- the Bakken, Eagle Ford and Permian Basin -- are now being unlocked through horizontal drilling technology; by American insight on http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2014/06/28/the-world-was-533-years-of-oil-left/11528999 /.

As troubling as it may be found According to BP’s Statistical Review of World Energy (pdf), released on Wednesday, we still have 1,333 billion barrels out there to pump, enough for 40 years at current usage per knowledge of http://makewealthhistory.org/2010/06/11/how-much-oil-is-there-left-really/.

Surely someone is not aware of finding new oil. Gravity magnetometers to measure small occurrences in the magnetic field that happen when there is oil
gravity magnetometers to measure small occurrences in the magnetic field that happen when there is oil.

Surveyors use magnetic surveying techniques to determine prime locations for geological structure that contains oil and gas deposits.

Seismic readings and sonic bouncing is one wave length that has a hit or miss guidance. The Earth’s crust is a magna and is 10 miles thin at the crust. Egypt and Kuwaiti have a Partnership due to the thin Goldan Heights. The drilling is unlike Texas and there is no sour gas fume in the beginning.
My prediction is by 2021 all oil reserve will dry leading to calamity.
The Fourth World War may begin;
Unless talent men is scientific understanding are recognized.

Replacing old Tech with new
Why gas tanks are deadly!!
In December 1988, EPA legislation asking owners to locate, remove, upgrade, or replace underground storage tanks became effective. Each state was given authority to establish such a program within its own jurisdiction, to compensate owners for the cleanup of underground petroleum leaks, to set standards and licensing for installers, and to register and inspect underground tanks.
Simply filling in your motor vehicle is a something that can danger the motor; the tanks underneath leak poison! According to the above; “teels are alloys of iron and other elements, primarily carbon, widely used in construction and other applications because of their high tensile strengths and low costs. Carbon, other elements, and inclusions within iron act as hardening agents that prevent the movement of dislocations that otherwise occur in the crystal lattices of iron atoms.
The carbon in typical steel alloys may contribute up to 2.1% of its weight. Varying the amount of alloying elements, their formation in the steel either as solute elements, or as precipitated phases, retards the movement of those dislocations that make iron comparatively ductile and weak, and thus controls qualities such as the hardness, ductility, and tensile strength of the resulting steel. Steel's strength compared to pure iron is only possible at the expense of ductility, of which iron has an excess.” Yet for Alberta Climate as example rust burns out and lattices into drinking wells. Gasoline burns clean and can open molecules that atomized during winter not to freeze and hold a time ticking! The reason is gas can freeze and cleaver chemists race a alcohol additive and rust the Iron further!! The leaks are there and race into drinking water and bathing as well again what is required is new form of rust proof casing as a hard core Plastic; that has a lead inert for cooling!! Stories do report the underground basin needs refinement “A fuel tank that blew up in a suburban New York backyard, killing two labourers, likely held gasoline rather than heating oil, which is much less explosive, police said Friday.
Hastings-on-Hudson police issued a statement saying hazardous materials experts detected what they believed was the odour of gasoline at the scene of Thursday’s explosion.” http://www.canadianbusiness.com/business-news/fuel-tank-that-exploded-killing-2-workers-may-have-hel d-gasoline-police-chief-says/ and Marianne Lamont Horinko Assistant Administrator Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response; is agreement that “gasoline tanks gained the national spotlight when 60 Minutes released its investigative report, “Check the Water”. That report revealed other neighbors in Canob Park were in the same situation – gasoline leaking from underground storage tanks was contaminating their drinking water.” Here Senator David Durenberger, Minnesota Introduced UST legislation in the U. S. Senate in cooperation with the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to develop a comprehensive regulatory program for underground storage tanks (USTs) certain hazardous substances promulgate new underground storage tank regulations; including new Plans from Alberta.
Meanwhile rust continues underneath the “pumping stations;” and the leak is heading to your cup of coffee ….!

Hon Pense Dieu Et Mon Droit
10/22/2015

To Mr. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau:

Thank you and Party Members on inviting me to attend all Victory!!

Congratulations on the Majority in Parliament!

As a strong Albertan and without vocation for over near 10, years; can a arthritic man Catholic with eye damage find a a place here with the Liberals to locate a clean and modified employment?

As a writer unpaid; please locate the Minister of Natural Resources as credit. On November 3, 2014; Ottawa returned a interest letter on my name with thanks! While studying the English Emblem two things are remarkable! Buckingham Palace wrote to me as well and the January 22nd, 2015 letter by request of the Majesty by the Senior Correspondence Officer holds the same Emblem.

One is a Unicorn to the left; one appears as a lion on the Ottawa lettermast; with the Royal Palace is printed with a beast that is Crown.

Why?

The Crown and we have no Queen ever; is high above on the Canada Letterhead?

I am a advertising graduate. Very puzzling!

The Homage reads: "Hon Pense
Dieu Et Mon Droit.?

I will translate this as best as I can from the English speaking world: "We Think God And My Right.

Why this French meaning on English Stationery is Bizarre!

Personal Secretary of Chris Dodd(unfiltered ungoogledunscripted)
As his secretary I don’t think Chris would be on his own side and all the backlash is expected. I don’t think Chris thinks of himself as a good person at all and if you listen to the autistic adhd rants I don’t think he knows what he’s talking about either. He will look in a bathroom not for cameras from the press but reasons to live. You know I’m not telling you to give him a chance but honestly I feel he would just be annoyed with all this weird jargon “tactfully” put in statements like he knows he’s dumb. I feel Chris is used to dealing with people constantly being deceived and him mistrusting his party who isn’t his party really. I think he still goes to these places where he is the most hated person in the room because he didn’t know anything different before joining the party. It’s crazy how someone constantly is told they are stupid or never going to achieve anything but he achieve uniting a party. Even if it was hate people otherwise only connected by the keys of a keyboard and made them laugh and forget about their lIfe. I think if anything Chris teaches us to be yourself even if literally everyone hates you for validish reasons. I think if anything at this point from Chris’s short political career he will just keep getting back up . Which is what we hate and don’t because without him in the party it would be the same boring political issues. Well Chris let’s us know if we want free campaign money you can always halfies on physical donations when you are more the entertainment. I think like anything in Chris’s political career it won’t blow over as much as it will blow up. Party to party Chris isn’t who is uniting us it is our dedication to the entertainment of our youth and future politicians.

Best of luck to the lot of you so much enjoyment I’m truly blessed to be apart of this no matter how small or very small of a part.
