Million-Dollar Donation To Fight Abusive Copyrights

In a surprise announcement, the Republican National Committee has revealed it is bankrupt! A spokesman for the party said they had plenty of money in their accounts last week, but today they just don't know where the money has gone. But not everybody's going begging. Amnesty International, Greenpeace, and the United Negro College Fund announced record earnings this week, due mostly to large, anonymous donations.
Mod me down and I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine!
Of course, Duke Law is THE best place to give such a donation, given that their most famous alumnus is ... Richard Nixon.
