Not too long ago both Rand and Ron Paul were pushing a copyright maximalist agenda. Today the chickens have come home to roost. Rand Paul's presidential announcement has been blocked by a copyright claim from Warner Music Group due to a clip of a song used in the announcement. Even more apropos of the (less and less as time goes by) libertarian-leaning Republican candidate, it wasn't a DMCA takedown raining on his parade, but the purely private ContentID system that Youtube put in place in order to appease the copyright cartel.
Here is a transcript of Rand Paul's announcement.

Unfortunately you are likely right. Personally I think both of those candidates offer more of the same from each party. The bland, your 3c titanium tax doesn't go too far enough [youtube.com] type of politicians that will just continue down the current road of erosion of rights, just different ones based off of party.
I haven't been following the Democrat side of things much so I wasn't sure how the draft Bernie Sanders thing was going but he would be another good one to offer a bold vision and would do a lot if nominated to advance the discussion.
