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.

As much as I cannot fricking stand Hillary...if the current crop like Cruz, Paul, and Fiorina is the BEST that the right can do? I think everybody better get used to saying President Hillary because nobody is gonna vote for these uber rich blowing, poor stomping, trickle upon yahoos!
Because Clinton isn't an "uber rich blowing, poor stomping, trickle upon yahoo" either? Having said that, Fiorina is a remarkably bad choice for anyone just due to her history. Surely, the Republicans can find a woman who hasn't seriously damaged two major companies.
