“Chief executive for the Recording Industry Association of America, Hilary Rosen, is helping draft copyright legislation for the New Iraq, according to investigative journalist Gregory Palast.”
“”Who’s really going to win this war? It looks like Madonna,” Palast told Democracy Now radio. “Where before, they feared Saddam Hussein, now they have to fear Sony Records will chop off their hands if they bootleg a Madonna album.”
“Hilary will almost certainly be setting to work on the current law’s Article 13:- “The author may not prevent a person making one copy of a published work for his own use.”"
“And she will want to stiffen the penalties for infringement:- one hundred dinars, or three hundred for repeat offenders. Maybe she will shoot for something closer to the $97 trillion the RIAA has claimed as damages from the file-sharing students back in the Homeland.”
I wonder how “liberated” some of the Iraqi’s will feel after Rosen finishes dumping her boot in?
