The next President...

JC123	Date: April 26, 2004 @ 4:04 AM Recently, I'm polling for Gary Nolan to be President. I'm not sure if he's for or against file sharing but this is what I sent: "Recently, it has come to my attention that not a lot of Democrats, Republicans, nor Libertarian leaders are coming out to endorse the Internet being used to its fullest potential. Congress, thru the Sonny Bono Copyright Extension Act, has extended copyrights on songs, movies, games, etc. for over 90 years. With this act there is far less diversity and a pull towards American culture being in the hands of the select few. A lot of young young Americans are being persecuted for downloading files on the internet and forced to go into court to justify downloading a song and having to pay either a fine of the maximum penalty of $150,000 or else face jail time. Is this truly how America shall work in the future? The Recording Industry Association of America, the RIAA, has said that downloading songs is illegal. But how? Is their music the only music on the market? Are there not independent voices like those of the Libertarian Party who feel that justice should be upheld and not perverted for a monetary reward (such as the settlement money that is extracted by the RIAA from these people that supposedly share too many songs) So with this explanation of the current Internet climate, I must ask what is the view that you take on this issue? I thank you for your time." ------------ Do you think I missed anything? Or for that matter who are you all reaching for? I'm going third party for the most part. Reading Nolan's site I gotta find someway to back this up but here's what we, the taxpayers spent on these people campaigning: Wesley K. Clark $7,552,570.68 John R. Edwards $6,108,375.37 Joseph Lieberman $4,233,709.85 Richard A. Gephardt $4,104,319.82 Dennis Kucinich $3,075,300.72 Lyndon H. LaRouche $1,276,465.03 Al Sharpton $179,708.99 ---------------------
