This Can't Be Good
R. Alex Whitlock
One thing I've always been able to point to when people accuse the Republicans of being uniformly big business is that it's primarily Democrats, not Republicans, who are the toadies for the MPAA and RIAA and their draconian copyright policies.

Well, via Bo Cowgill, I ran across this:
Hollywood's two premier trade associations -- the Motion Picture Association of America and the Recording Industry Association of America -- are strongly considering replacing their current leaders, who are liberals, with prominent Republicans.

Officials at the motion picture association have privately told Republicans they want a Republican to run the organization if President Jack Valenti, a former aide to President Lyndon B. Johnson, steps down this year as expected.

I actually kinda liked the MPAA/Democrat alliance, in part because it kept all the baddies together.

If the RIAA and MPAA start veering towards the GOP and the Dems makes this a partisan battle, it could rather seriously change my views on the Republicans having control of both houses and the Presidency.

Comment spam is an ongoing problems that we're trying to address. Previously we required people to create accounts and log in. I am thankful to say that is no longer the case. We're giving Captcha another try and are playing around with a text-based Q&A variant of Captcha. So bear with us as we try to figure out how to best get a handle ont he problem. Please note that any comment on a post more than 30 days old will go into the moderation queue, where I will get to it when I can which could be once a week.
