I have to blame Clinton and the Congress of 1998 on this one. The
DMCA was passed and it added a new facet to tyranny in government. "Fair use" disappeared with this piece of legislation and the industry still wants more powers.
The MPAA and RIAA can [censored] off as far as I am concerned. No one should have that much power. We have had this debate go on for many pages on here before, so I won't rehash it.
