I'm cheering Dr. Touretzky on from here. His website is an excellent
expression of how the claim of control over intellectual property on the
part of a few has begun to interfere with the rights of free speech and
expression of everyone else. The MPAA sucks.
The NAB sucks.
NPR often sucks.
Give us our LPFM licenses.
Give us the write/right to not only have a thought,
But to tell someone else about it.
Tell all the corporations and their lawyers
No more corporate free speech
Unless the people have access
To equivalent and complemntary
Levels of public exposure
No one should be able to buy more free speech
Than anyone else can afford
We are all equal
Whether of not you want to admit it
We all hang together
Or no one hangs at all
