A political win by Barack Obama and Joe Biden may be a great help to those in the music industry when dealing with intellectual property and copyright. Even though the views of these two people vary in certain areas on the issues, they definitely could help. Joe Biden has been a strong voice in Congress, and while some of the issues that he has tried to push for have not made it all the way through his activism has caught attention. He has been on the committee that all bills regarding intellectual property must pass through, has stood behind the Perform act, and was the first member of congress to hold a full committee hearing which looked at issues of piracy. He has published articles on piracy and also tried to bring amendments to the table to help in fight against it. While Biden is for copyright protection, Obama believes in Net Neutrality laws, and if elected may have Lawrence Lessig as the CFO who holds beliefs that are on the other end as Biden. Over all for the music and entertainment industry as a whole, a win by this team could help more than it could hurt.
