| Re: hit the content owners then and the government has what say so to the media companies that own the channels? NONE. You are free to go else where for your TV needs and so are the cableTV providers. But lets face it, the government has no control over Disney ABC, Comcast Media, The Big Ten Network, ViaCom, Fox (except for local channels like Lin TV).
So what is going after Disney going to do? Not a damn thing except cost more money going to court when they're sued and the tax payers pay more. | |

Untrue, the government has complete control over copyright law that all of the media companies depend on and the government can represent the people rather than corporations for a change and make bundling illegal anytime it wants to. | |

| Re: hit the content owners then just because the own the copy right doesnt mean the can just take the copyright away.
if the Feds ever took away copyrighting they would be sued beyond what the gov't could ever pay.
And just by taking the copyright away wouldn't make the bundling illegal. | |

The government doesn't have to take copyright away, they just have to make it a condition of copyright that bundling is illegal. The Constitution gives Congress the power to make laws that promote the arts ands sciences (such as copyright) but it doesn't preclude Congress from making bundling cable channels illegal. BTW the government can even make it impossible to win a lawsuit against the government. | |
