The Obama teams’s commitment to transparency and interaction with constituents seems to be running strong. Check out their posting of the MPAA’s lobbying issues here. The document itself is scary stuff. It represents a fundamental ideology of most big business these days: socialize the risk and policing of people in the interests of big business and privatize the wealth. Remember when the uber-capitalists used to cry in indignation about any form of government regulation? Well, here it is in black and white: the media giants want more regulation in order to protect a dying business model. There are about 50 comments so far, all of them appealing to the Obama team’s commitment to fairness, justice, and economic smarts. With any luck, not only will the American people avoid more crippling laws on top of the DMCA, but they might even be able to roll back some of the most harmful ones. I hope that more Americans weigh in on this, especially as the MPAA also wishes to put more pressure on countries like Canada to conform to their myopic vision of the entertainment market.
