John Kerry is an asshat

"In 2006, the Information Policy Action Committee (IPac) launched a campaign to educate lawmakers -- the people who make rules about the Internet and think it's made from a "series of tubes" -- about technology and copyright. To get their attention, we asked our supporters to help us buy video iPods for key Senators, which we then loaded with public domain and Creative Commons-licensed material. Despite the legality of the contribution, some Senators declined the iPod. One of those Senators was former presidential candidate John Kerry, who accepted $3,633,392 from the entertainment industry during his presidential campaign."

Bad choice, Kerry. You took money from the entertainment industry, but ignored consumer advocate groups. Not the sort of behavior I want to see in my representatives.
