#1 ...and lets go back to the 30 year limitation on copyright. If it's over thirty years, it's public domain. If they can't make a profit in those thirty years, they're in the wrong business.

#2 Let's see what the big, big issues are this week:

1) Japanese earthquake, tsunami and nuclear meltdown.

2) Libyan civil war.

3) Continued U.S. economic slide.

Let's see what the issues are according to Obama:

a) Schoolyard bullying

b) Copyright reform

c) Picks for the final four in the NCAA tournament

As Glenn Reynolds would say, the country is in the best of hands.

This is both a misallocation of resources and a way to cover up huge crimes.
