FCC Commissioner Wants To Push For DRM

    The FCC is one of the most politically corrupt Govt. divisions. They literally bend over for large companies and law firms. I personally have seen them apply the same rules two opposite ways in two identical situations. The NAB is one of the biggest lobbiests (read: BRIBERS) out there. The MPAA and RIAA are right up there too.

    Don't expect the FCC to EVER come down on the side of the consumer in anything - they never do!

    Nobody give a fuck what you think. We know you lie, we know you make shit up, and we know you're usually taking the most ridiculous, out of scope, moronic position possible.

    Shut up. We're tired of you, and frankly, we think it would be best if you choke on a dick.
