These out of touch congressmen are making the insane leap between sharing files and child victimization. And assuming that networks like Kazaa are somehow extorting money from the RIAA, no less. Sure hope those campaign checks from the RIAA keep rolling in.

Hatch has received $152,360. [/qb][/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
