It seems extremely troubling when such a key member of the House subcommittee on intellectual property has such a negative view of our basic property rights.
It is not so much a negative view he came up with on his own, it is more of a "purchased" negative view sold to him by copyright extremists.
I wonder, now that it appears he is "bought and paid for" if the copyright industry thinks "you bought it, you own it" applies?
I should have included a "/s" at the end of my sentence. Sometimes communicating by the written word can be very limited unless you are a talented author, which I am not. :-(
I'm wondering when the government will stop being conned by all this and realize that a subcontractor ignoring regulations doesn't mean the original company has clean hands, either.
The government will stop being conned when the campaign donations dry up.
Until that happens, the government will not care how many die (unless it happens to a friend or a relative).
I would like to take this opportunity to express my profound relief that our U.S. Congress is not the only body of politicians with their collective heads jammed up their collective bottoms.
I suspect a lot more countries are also afflicted with politicians of this type.
It seems as if politics is a giant otherworldly magnet that attracts the idiots, the greedy, the spineless sellouts, and others of that ilk.
After reading over the various comments, I see a lot of people wondering if the MPAA thinks this, or if the MPAA thinks that, or perhaps they think something else.
I have yet to read any article, posted anywhere, that would lead me to believe the MPAA does any thinking what so ever.
I would like to think McCain received a phone call after his "resignation" statement hit the press.
I can imagine the phone call originating from within the NSA and reminding McCain of the "incident/s" he would like to keep private and how it might accidentally become public knowledge if he didn't change his position or statement.
They are watching everybody McCain, not just the "little people". Welcome to the nightmare of your creation.
