Some of Rosen's toughness can be traced to her twenties, when she came out as a lesbian and fought on the frontier of gay politics, becoming an early and ardent advocate for AIDS research. I ask Rosen if she thinks the stereotype of a militant lesbian plays into her image as being too aggressive. She considers this. "I never thought of myself as one of those separatist dykes," she says finally. "But I suppose if people see me that way, that's fine."

...snipHilary Rosen would prefer it if the world's youth didn't think she was hopelessly uncool. She has an iPod. She counts both Al and Tipper Gore, as well as the rapper Chuck D, among her close friends. She helped found Rock the Vote, for God's sake.

I was kind of ambivalent about this issue 'cuz I hate most of the popular music....

Now, I can hardly wait to install a PtP program and start downloading songs!

Defund the Left! Download your music!

Defund the Left! Download your music!

You DO realize that stealing music doesn't "defund" the left; NOT BUYING the music defunds the left.

I see that you're perfectly willing to jettison others' property rights when you find them inconvenient to your political agenda. In this respect, you're no different than the Earth First! folks.
