Hey, your Congresscritter has a right to make a living, doesn't he?

What possible public policy reason could there be for such a thing?

(techdirt)

Or she, of course. Is that a public policy reason, or what?

Turns out the House has passed a bill urging (I'm going with the kindest interpretation here) universities to provide paid music subscription services to students as a way to protect the recording industry from piracy (arrrr). If Disney doesn't make a profit the terrorists have won.

And please please please, bunky, pay attention here: As a public service we are advising you not to hold your breath until a presidential candidate takes a stand on music downloads - or even if it's legal to loan a CD to a friend.
