MPAA Directly & Publicly Threatens Politicians Who Aren't Corrupt Enough To Stay Bought (via):
Consumer group Public Knowledge on Friday accused the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) and its head, former Sen. Chris Dodd, of trying to intimidate lawmakers into supporting a pair of controversial anti-piracy bills.
In recent days, Dodd and other top Hollywood figures have threatened to cut off campaign donations to politicians who do not support their effort to crackdown on online copyright infringement.
"Those who count on quote 'Hollywood' for support need to understand that this industry is watching very carefully who's going to stand up for them when their job is at stake. Don't ask me to write a check for you when you think your job is at risk and then don't pay any attention to me when my job is at stake," Dodd said on Fox News on Thursday.
Too disgusted to say anything.

But the weird thing is that, even now—after this SOPA/PIPA stuff, after the Ron Paul black-out, after everything you have seen—many people (Americans) are still so brainwashed that they still believe in democracy—even American democracy.
