130. And that legal right was written by THEM
Edited on Sun Apr-08-07 11:59 PM by Ignacio Upton
THEY wrote the series of unjust copyright laws that were passed in the 1990's, such as the DMCA and the Sony Bono Copyright Term Extension Act. THEY fill the campaign coffers of Congressmen to do so. Sadly, there are people in both parties who are under their influence. Jack "VCR=Boston Strangler" Valenti, and Hilary "mp3 players should be illegal" Rosen both headed the RIAA and MPAA when those laws were passed. Both of them are prominent Democrats. There's also current MPAA head Dan Glickman, who served as Clinton's Agricultural Secretary. That's not to say that the GOP doesn't have an presence. Current RIAA head Mitch Bainwol was Chief of Staff for Frist before he replaced Rosen in 2003.
