(And Obama hopefully will still have the power to veto anything too pro RIAA/MPAA/etcAA.) Biden as VP puts him in a place wher...

"John McCain has finally released a technology platform. Most of it is the same old stuff; lower corporate taxes, protect children from porn, and avoid Internet regulation unless 'necessary.' Alas, in his view, helping the RIAA's War on Sharing is necessary to stop the 'global epidemic' of piracy, while Net Neutrality is somethi...
