Republican National Committee advertises on E-Donkey

Share and share alike, right?

ONE OF THE major themes for politicos of all stripes this year is digital rights management. When you and I think about it, we think of annoying things that keep you from exercising your rights and using the media that you legally purchased. Fair use? Not anymore.

Politicians think about easy speeches wrapped in patriotic and capitalistic phrases, backed up by large checks from the entertainment industry. The RIAA and MPAA fret, fume, and sue 12 year olds while shoveling wagonfulls of cash to get laws changed. If it weren’t so comical and sad, it would make me smile.

So, is this a stupid rant? Far from it, it is documentation of hypocrisy. While certain political organizations are decrying things that our judicial system has declared legal, other wings of the same organization fund them. See?

Does this mean E-Donkey is the official file trading network of the Bush administration? Is this open war on Hollywood liberals? Tune in next week for another episode of "How the Money Flows". Next week’s episode, "Condi, Ed Gillespie did WHAT?"
