Can someone name ONE thing that the (US) federal government has done during this administration that has NOT favored large corporations and the ultra wealthy over small business and the general public?

I don't know if one would consider the copyright office to be a part of the federal government (they're not a part of the executive or legislative branches anyway) but it seems they are trying to do the right thing, or at least level the playing field.

If net radio is forced to pay royalties and Radio stations that simulcast over the net have to pay bug bucks it could mean that broadcast Radio would gradually die because there are lots of people who use their computer to listen to music. So with that in mind we should be able to listen to Radio stations all across the country and world if they broadcast music. The RIAA gets paid when the stations buy the music and besides the bands get a huge promotion when their music is played over the net in the first place. I can see the day when FREE Radio is no more.
