Ain’t that a Mitch

Mitch, I read your speech, and I still don’t trust you.
Testifying before the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Telecommunications and the Internet, RIAA Chairman and CEO Mitch Bainwol sounded sooo intelligent till he got to the part about “with respect for order.” He continues: “It means having an online environment that encourages innovation for legitimate commerce and social discourse and at the same time also has appropriate deterrents for online theft and other illegal behavior.” He just never says who was going decide what’s innovative, or what’s legitimate, or what appropriate deterrents are.
I just know one thing , I won’t ever want him or his RIAA cartel to be involved in those decisions. Along with his henchmen MediaSentry, the RIAA violates privacy laws and prosecutes innocent people in the name of stamping out piracy.
Yo Mitch, how do you spell hypocrite?
