What did you expect? Even before getting elected Obama voted for telco-immunity, and then picked Biden as VP, who not only helped write the DMCA and is a well known drug warrior, but who proudly claimed to have written most of what become the PATRIOT Act.


Senator Dodd gave a very impassioned and long speech on the floor arguing against that retroactive immunity.

It didn't involve identical issues as his efforts for the MPAA, but it is a pretty radical change in sentiments nonetheless.

If we can be unpleasantly surprised, it would be nice to be pleasantly surprised every now and then, too.
