ObamaDOJ + RIAAfolks = old web 1.0
April 4, 2009
Boring … and for proof that the Obama administration isn’t that down with the cutting edge of internet life and hacking despite the impressions given by his Crackberry addction:
Nearly two dozen public interest groups, trade pacts and library groups urged President Barack Obama on Thursday to quit filling his administration with insiders plucked from the Recording Industry Association of America. The demands came a week after the Justice Department, fresh with two RIAA attorneys in its No. 2 and No. 3 positions, announced the administration’s support of $150,000 in damages for each music track purloined on a peer-to-peer file sharing program.
