Obama Sides With RIAA, Supports $150,000 Fine per Music Track | Threat Level from Wired.com
Obama's DOJ Sides with RIAA
Apparently when it comes to going after those evil music thieves, the Obama administration is just like the Bush administration. Two top officials in the new legal administrations are former RIAA lawyers, and the new administration says $175,000 per song stolen seems pretty fair.
They can't find the world's top terrorists; if you rape someone, you won't necessarily be filing for chapter 11 anytime soon, but download an MP3 you didn't pay for and its curtains for the life you had as you know it.
This is not the change I believe it. It's more big government being bought by industries who can't come up with a relevant business plan besides "sue everyone". This is why I am increasingly against big government... it is powerful, yet that power can be so easily bought.
