Seems like there's a freshman Represenative, Rep. Adam Schiff (of
Califorina) just introduced a similar bill in Congress, as I guess he
couldn't wait for the CBDPTHTHTHTHTHT to pass in the Senate.
Also from that report:
In the 2000 election cycle , the entertainment industry handed
Democrats a whopping $24.2 million in contributions compared to
$13.3 million to Republicans, according to opensecrets.org.
I've also heard that the Computer Industry generated over $600 billion in
profits last year, while Hollywood only $35 billion.
Also that Michael Eisner, CEO of Disney, has made over $700 million
personally over the last five years at Disney (and not many of the creative
types who work for him like him from what I've heard).
