04:20 "to defend the music industry". No he did not go there to defend the industry.

Wish the audio wasn't horribly compressed to the point that you can't make out words..

David, you did a very great job on this video.

I've studied civics and politics for awhile, this whole thing was about 2 things.

1. What certain things that Christians don;t like.

2. To make money off of it as well.

2. The reason for that being the case, there was a Bill that was not known to the public known as HR2911. "The Blank Tape Tax" Guess where that part of our tax dollars went? :/

I think you did a great job on this and hope to see more like it. *salutes*

I like the use of the opening of Joe's Garage as Frank's theme :3

Great film...shame about the audio quality.

Sure. But "Congress has made no law." The ideas was to establish a rating system. Many media have done this to defuse controversy and avoid censorship -- comics, movies. I agree it can have a chilling effect but it's not the end of the world. Look at what's available on HBO now!
