The Senator from Disney, Fritz Holling's is a Democrat. He is one of the most senior Democrats and receives a ton of funding from the RIAA and the MPAA. He alone got $300,000 from them in his last election. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,47296,00.html
The article also mentions that during 2000, the Democrats received 24.2 million as opposed to 13.3 million for the Republicans from the entertainment industry. I don't think this is really a party issue though, everyone knows the entertainment industry has always tilted Democratic for reasons other than the MPAA and RIAA. Rick Boucher (D) is probably the biggest advocate for online radio around, and has been trying to fight the CARP fees that have taken the majority of the online radio stations off the air (wire? :)) already. He also has been fighting the DMCA at every turn. -- jon mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Thursday, August 22, 2002, 8:51:13 AM, you wrote: LL> Also does anyone know where I can find out how much organizations contribute LL> to each major political party?
