   Strange, I never knew that the Obama administration extends to the Justice Department. Care to fill me in on how that is possible?

   The US Attorney General is a member of the Cabinet and oversees the operation of the Department of Justice.

   So you are saying that you have absolutely no idea how government works.
   Nice. I wish I was ignorant.

   FU to RIAA

   

   Sony mole, Feb 17th, 2009 @ 5:06pm

   
   

   sources tell me that some of the labels have had enough of the RIAA and pulled out. This is causing layoffs and total reduction in bootleg CD stuff. My guy didn;t have alot of info about P2P, but I guess the labels are doen being made into fools by the RIAA poopieheads. First the MPAA now RIAA, guess they won;t be around much longer!!

   This is where the rubber meets the road, Obama gets the either reaffirm just who his constituents are or betray them. He can back unconstitutional penalties or reject them and the DOJ's actions WILL be seen as his.

    The Problem Now

    Well the way I see it there will be no way for us (the average citizen or even reporters) to know if former industry lawyers will be influencing legislation or enforcement.
    
    This is just a bad situation all the way around.

    What we can learn from Obama's election

    

    Kirk, Feb 18th, 2009 @ 9:53am

    
    

    Please contact the president and present your case against this action. The fact that he's president should show us all that we do indeed have a voice. Freedom's greatest enemy is apathy. Participate or prostrate.
