I know a thing or two about the internet, piracy and file sharing, and she's asked for my advice on new legislation on that subject. Her (and her party's) stance is not very controversial: Rights holders must get paid one way or another, and at the same time record companies has to change their old business models and must do more to keep up with technology. With this kept in mind, what advice should I give her?"

Bingo. He should show her this as well. http://ipower.ning.com/netneutrality The video is a little over the top but she needs to understand this vision of a 1984 type future that geekdom thinks can happen. The laws they want can have many ill effects that they will not see coming but we do. If they resist then it'll just make things far harder for everyone in the future.
