Growing digital rights movement needs to put some political heads on stakes -- fast
re Senator Disney, Sen Feinstein, and all other industry lackies...
"...technology will be permanently frozen in place so a handful of big entertainment firms can preserve their profits and their antiquated ways of doing business.
"to stem the tide, GeekPAC, or some other similar organization, needs to make an example out of someone in Congress, and do it quick. When the National Rifle Association, or the Christian Coalition or Emily's List, for that matter, want action on an issue, the strategists behind those well-run groups usually pick a smart fight with one or more of their key opponents. They target their resources to just those specific races, sometimes to just one race. Rather than give 200 politicians $1,000 each, the savviest PACs instead will spend $200,000 or more kicking the bejesus out of just one single office holder.
The tactic puts all the other office holders on notice that if they step out of line, or tilt too far in the wrong direction, they could be next."
