ok, one more politics post

Susan, Intellectual Property law prof in NYC, opines on Dubya's and Kerry's responses to the question: "What is the appropriate role for the federal government in addressing concerns about content over the Internet?"

My conclusion?

Both took about 150 words to say absolutely nothing - Kerry slightly less so. And Susan has a good time poking fun at Dubya, though it gets old. Dubya's blurb focuses on protecting children from the evils of the internet (ahem, notwithstanding this site). Susan knocks Bush for this, but what more can we expect? The guy is looking for votes. Conservative ones, and there are lots of them out there. Chances are he'll snag more conservative votes by strongly (and vaguely) appealing to the protection of children than by discussing iPods, the RIAA, copyright issues, and that Metallica mp3 you downloaded. (I hope it was from "Justice" or earlier).
