Republican Gov. Bill Haslam told reporters earlier this week that he wasn't familiar with the details of the legislation, but given the large recording industry presence in Nashville, he favors "anything we can do to cut back" on music piracy.
The recording industry, a major taxpayer in Tennessee, loses money when users share accounts for music services instead of paying separately.
In other words: No, he didn't actually read it to see if it was an egregious affront to the voter base. His concern is for the major taxpayer ( of course, he's Republican), not the thousands of little taxpayers. Besides, with all that pocket cash coming from the RIAA, why would he disagree with them? Imagine his surprise when the voter base boots his ass out next election cycle.
run a campaign for someone in your home town who shows promise. ffs run yourself. if enough people did it and fucked with the system the system might churn out some results other than this crap.
So please, keep your ivory tower ideas to yourself unless you also provide an idea how to implement them.
There's the problem right there. It was spelled out in black and white and you still failed to recognize it.
