This sounds like more awareness needs to be brought before
the politicians just what the music 'industry' is.
Nearly all the artists are drug abusers.
Nearly all the companies are profiteers exploiting drug abusers.
Politicians should make it right by forcing on the RIAA laws requiring
it and any other company to remove any material
produced by drug addicted artists.
Like olympic champions who champion away at the expense of others
by taking drugs who gets stripped of all medals when the drug
discovery is made, it should only be right that genuine
artists are not put at a disadvantage with drug taking artists.
The music and film industry and all its infrastructure should be targetted.
