Work in the service industry for any length of time and you come to LOATHE Saturdays with a burning passion that makes how the NSA views Snowden to be nothing more than someone giving someone else the cold shoulder.
Wasn't Clinton investigated because of Whitewater (a real estate scandal that was kind of similar to what the housing crisis of 2008 was) and the fact that, when asked under oath about stuff, he was found lying?
What if? Now this is kind of crazy, but, what if...
Perfect 10 wasn't a troll, but rather a company that wants to help culture out by getting these precedents in place so others can't/won't sue due to it.
Even if they negotiate against the studios on numerous occasions like you say they do, they still work for Hollywood and get paid by them.
It's like when you see a politician coming out and saying something that seems to be a good thing, you remain unconvinced because you KNOW that politicians tend to vote where the money's coming from if the public doesn't speak up about it enough.
After all, Obama was completely against the NSA's tactics when running for office, now he's for them.
So, excuse me if I remain skeptical about Hollywood's writers taking a stance that's against Hollywood. It seems more like a PR move than anything else.
The Constitution, in an of itself, before the Amendments, mentions mostly who can serve as President, the House and the Senate with restrictions and requirements for all three branches of government, as well as treaties, commerce, tax, and others.
But, I can see your point that the whole "People of the United States" thing is implied.
However, my point is, that a literal reading of the Bill of Rights does not include only citizens of America, but everyone and one could make an argument that the spying the NSA does is, without a warrant, 100% unconstitutional, and therefore illegal.
When it's around... September, yes, September, we need to get a list of the positions of members of Congress ready to go and plaster them all over the internet, radio, newspaper and TV so everyone knows who supports the 4th Amendment and liberty and who's for pushing for an authoritarian government.
Yes, they're saying stuff that I can agree with, but, at the same time, they're still in Hollywood's back pocket.
Sorry, WGAW, but your corporate masters have soured me so much that even if you were to help push forth the end of copyright completely, I still would distrust and dislike you simply because you're too close to the MPAA and their friends.

Who am I kidding? They're still trolls.
Would be a nice thought though.

I have every reason to be cynical about this.
