The man that kicked all this off was your friend and mine, President William Jefferson Clinton, when he signed into law the Digital Millenium Copyright Act, from which CARP, the panel that came up with these rates, is directly derived and given authority.
As far as I remember, Vice President Al Gore was part of the Clinton Administration in 1998, when the DMCA became the law of the land.
You can guarantee that your privacy and freedom would be just as perilously jeopardized with a Gore Administration in office. Republicans like oil and banks, Democrats go for talk shows and CD's. Just ask Tipper...she's always been fond of the recording industry.
