It takes great courage to stand up to the Hollywood Donation and Lobbying Machine.
We often joke that the RIAA has the finest Congress that money can buy. But it's not really a joke and it's certainly not funny.
The current battle between the independent Internet broadcasters and the RIAA is really a David versus Goliath battle. The individual broadcasters have no money, no lobby, not connections and no clout. None of us have hosted multi-million dollar fundraisers for Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama.
So I want to take a moment to salute the fine U.S. House Representatives who have announced their support of House Resolution Number 2060, The INTERNET EQUALITY ACT. You can bet these brave Representatives of the People are taking their very careers in their own hands in facing down the mammoth Recording Industry Association of American and the giant media companies behind them.
