White House Petition To Investigate Dodd For Bribery

Walkingshark writes "Chris Dodd's recent statements complaining that congressmen who receive donations from the RIAA and MPAA should toe the line has spawned a firestorm of anger on the internet. Among the bits of fallout: a petition on the White Houses "We the People" site to investigate him, the RIAA, and the MPAA for bribery! This petition gained more than 5000 signatures in 24 hours and is still growing. When the petition reaches 25,000 signatures the White House is obligated to respond to it in an official capacity."

Slightly off topic, but here's an update on that Book Project I was talking about a few days ago.

PainGuy said he was interested in "effects of mass downloading" (my word, avoiding Piracy since it's with his implied permission). His first two replies were under an hour, including sending me the file.

So I sent back two emails saying "to do this right we need an alternate copy switched over to Creative Commons with Mashup rights."

Crickets.

So PainGuy, if you read this, or a Friend of a Friend does, I'm not going to walk into a honeypot. Sorry. We were off to a good start there.

(Desperately clawing back on topic)

So he wanted to see the effects of mass downloads vs sales but then avoided making the correct license for those downloads to be legal.
