posted 06/02/2011, 11:56 PM (S.M. Oliva)
[Category: Commentary]
 The Copyright Cartel -- aka the Motion Picture Association of America -- was back before Congress yesterday demanding more subsidies for Hollywood’s business model. Michael O’Leary, the MPAA’s head lobbyist, demanded the House Judiciary Committee expand the definition of “felony” copyright infringement to include streaming of content over the Internet (as opposed to mere downloading, which is already classified as a felony).

Documents show FCC coordinated 'Net Neutrality' effort with outside group
posted 06/02/2011, 11:54 PM (Washington Examiner)

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said the documents released by his organization suggest "nothing less than the Obama administration's attempt to stage a government takeover of the Internet under the guise of Net Neutrality. So it should come as no surprise that Free Press, the hard-left organization with socialist ties, is improperly driving the so-called Net Neutrality agenda from inside the Obama administration."
