	The internet offers people far more power over their actions than any other aspect of their lives. They're afraid it will go away.

You cite the Democrats' love of Hollywood. Are you referring to SOPA/PIPA? I ask because those weren't partisan. Republican Representative Lamar Smith from Texas wrote SOPA, while PIPA was started by Patrick Leahy, a Democratic Senator from Vermont. It had extremely strong support from both sides before the protests gained momentum. Partisanship had nothing to do with it, at all. -----signature----- E- 80% K- 60% S- 40% A- 20% "That thing you burnt up isn't important to me. It's the fluid catalytic cracking unit.

	The MPAA and RIAA are huge lobbyist inside the government who have bought and paid for politicians on both "sides" including many, many inside the DoJ. VP Biden is one of the hugest MPAA/RIAA puppets there was in Congress when he was there -----signature----- Only those who dare to fail greatly, can ever achieve greatly In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity The only thing in life achieved without effort is failure Time Circuits...
