Patrick J. Kennedy

Kendrick Meek

It's a very insular political community up there. I think the court's part of that and they're protecting their own. There's no justice in Vermont today.
Tom Fitton

It's just hard. I wish the studios felt there was more value in these themes and these pieces of material - that they're worth protecting more. Because then it just wouldn't happen. If the studios cared, the stuff would be stopped in a second.
Danny Elfman
