Even more important, stricter copyright laws help the media corps sell more product, and GWB is in favor of anything that helps US corps sell more stuff.
True, but weaker copyright laws help sell more mp3 players, CD burners, and so on. It's not clear (to me, anyway) which contributes more to the US economy and how changing copyright law will affect the relative balance of sales.
There was an article in the New York Times that made this point. Especially since many companies sell both music and players, once they make more from selling players than music it will be to their advantage to increase demand for mp3 players by making more music available for free.
