I don’t have a lot of respect for our Senator Norm Coleman. He’s pretty much pissed me off since he first became mayor of Saint Paul, and little that I’ve heard him doing in Congress has improved my impression of him. I am glad, therefore, to see him exercise a bit of common sense by questioning the RIAA’s “extreme approach” to quashing illegal filesharing, expectiing that the punishment fit the crime. Good for you, Norm. (Listen to an interview with Coleman on Future Tense, a RealAudio stream.)
