Inspired by I-57

Bigger, more interesting sources than mine have reported on this, but this is an awesome idea and I’ve already donated.

After hearing Ted Stevens (R-AZ, recently famous for threating to never return to the senate if they cut out the 50M to build a bridge to an island with < 200 inhabitants. Small government? what’s that) suddenly turn into an angel on the topic of DRM (He was given an Ipod, used it, and realized that all these restrictions being proposed to be mandated by RIAA and MPAA would make it useless), Ipac wants to give more senators Ipods. The idea is that if they actually USE some of the technology that innovation makes possible, they might be a little slower to enact legislation that prevents innovation.

And lest ye think this is hyperbole, the latest proposal from RIAA/MPAA actually says that any form of use of media that has not been “customary historic use” will not be legal unless they pre-approve it.

Anyway, please, give a few dollars here. This may be the most effective way possible to slow the big money of the RIAA and MPAA– give them something personal to associate the problem with.
