It is a sad day when our elected officials turn on us on the command of the RIAA, et al. Congress has sent letters to universities asking what they are doing to prevent illegal downloading of copyrighted works. Congress warned that it would be "forced to act" if it was not provided with "acceptable answers."
The RIAA has co-opted the FBI, police, and judicial system against us in the past, and now it seems like they're directing their efforts towards the legislative branch. Aren't we fighting a war? Aren't we destroying the earth? Aren't there any other social problems that deserve Congress' attention? Why are they wasting their time getting paid off by the RIAA to do their dirty work? Oh, right... they're politicians. I can almost hear the auctioneer:
"Now bidding on Lamar Smith's (R-TX) vote! Can I get seven thousand dollars? Cary Sherman places a bid in the back for seven thousand; can I get eight?"
