Using an impressive combination of glibness and presumption, California senator Diane Feinstein ripped into file-sharing, citing a "rise in peer to peers" and claiming it will "destroy these intellectual property industries" (as quoted in CNET).

Techdirt notes that Feinstein's election campaigns have been financed in part by entertainment industries.
