jmorse's Journal: Oh, the absurdity of it all!

Proving once and for all that they are unabashed corporate whores, the Bush Administration has decided to let Hillary Rosen write Iraq's post-Hussein IP laws. They're not even being subtle about raping the world anymore. I can think of nobody more inappropriate (save for maybe Jack Valenti) to write IP laws. Watch fair use and all non-DRM media go out the window. Watch for them to plug the analog hole by forcing people to wear blinders and earplugs unless they pay the RIAA to be able to take them off. Watch Ronald Reagan suddenly appear 35 years old in all of his portraits...sort of reminds me of a particular finctional work:

WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH

 
And if you question the RIAA, that's doubleplusunpatriotic. I can only hope that Rosen gets caught up in a friendly fire incident...
