It was inevitable

It was incredibly naive for technology companies to think they could avoid government involvement, especially after the dotcom boom. But now they have to make sure they don't go overboard in the other direction.

Just another form of bribery

What a shame we don't have a law, similar to the one the US President has in regard to the value of gifts received!, in any shape or form!

Until that becomes law, all these perks, are just another form of bribery, which goes a long to explain, how the MPAA/RIAA and like minded corporate interest groups,were able to obtain the best corporate friendly laws that money can buy, and we will always have the "Jack Abramoff's" of this world peddling influence and bribing our elected representatives unabated, for it takes two to tango!
