    Of course it's political, the MPAA and RIAA hold a lot of power in the current administration. As far as Warner Brothers, they've always been the more uptight of the labels. Of course having Bronfman as the CEO all that time, possibly the most unqualified of CEOs, didn't help much. As to whether the anti-infringement fanatics are holding back innovation and tech, yes, they are. But so are the patent wars and other complete BS going on now.

    Think for all concerned, and future reference, we'd all like to see some resolution for this 'saga'.
