RIAA loves Joe Crowley
p2pnet news view Politics | RIAA News:- “I am sick,” says Ray Beckerman on Recording Industry vs The People.
“We need legislation to prevent this type of corruption.
“Now.”
What’s made Ray so angry?
Huffington Post reporter Arthur Delaney was kicked out of “yet another fundraiser,” this time one benefiting Joe Crowley’s (D-NY) leadership PAC,” says the Huffington Post, going on, “Crowley [right] was set to sing at the soiree located at the lobbying headquarters of the Recording Industry Association of America.
But Delaney was uncovered by people with Blackberries who, “looked up Delaney’s experience earlier this week attempting to attend a fundraiser for Sen. Johnny Isakson (R-GA), says the story.
Delaney apparently had a chat with several lobbyists who, “introduced themselves, including Lou Constantino of the Managed Funds Association, a hedge funds lobby that has spent $750,000 in lobbying so far this year as part of the industry’s efforts to avert regulation. Patrick Collins said he was there just because he likes Crowley. Law firm Holland & Knight sent at least one intern.”
Wonder how long it’ll take one (or all) of them be boosted into the RIAA’s Department of Justice?
No need to stay tuned. Or hold your breath.
