Inquiry Into RIAA's Piracy Crackdown Tactics

MongooseCN writes "Sen. Norm Coleman started an inquiry to check the RIAA's tactics on attacking online music swappers. He believes the RIAA's tactics may not be taking into consideration the damage they do to innocent people. It's good to know that someone remembered people in the US have Rights." As a former roadie, Senator Coleman doesn't oppose file sharing penalities, he merely wants to make sure the punishment fits the crime.

    The reason he's latched on to this "cause" is because
    it's safe, it gives him a populist glow with the folks
    back home, and he'll get a nice suck off of that RIAA
    lobbyist teat.

    The only mp3 on his iPod is "Takin' care of business" .

    Not *EVERYONE* was disgusted with the 2000 election.

    Bush got more votes, so Gore lost. Simple as that. Get over it, quit whining and move on.

    Restricting contributions to ONLY voters is unfair discrimination. However it *should* be restricted to legal US citizens.. Regardless of their voting status.
