Chris Dodd? That name sounds familiar. Wasn't that guy a U.S. Senator for 30 years? Oh right... > In February 2011, despite "repeatedly and categorically insisting that he would not work as a lobbyist," Dodd was identified by The New York Times as the likely replacement for Dan Glickman as chairman and chief lobbyist for the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA). The hiring was officially announced on March 1, 2011. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Dodd http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Dodd Between this and the "debate" on MSNBC the other day, it makes me despair when the other side has that kind of firepower and disregard for fair play. Classic example of regulatory capture (in this case, of the US Congress, which is explicitly designated in the Constitution as having the power to establish copyright).
