Who told Dean to lock down the network, boost TCPA?

I was appalled when Dr. Dean came out in support of Davis in the California recall, but this really sends him over the edge. Apparently his campaign manager, Joe Trippi, is a major booster of the TCPA:

Viewed by copyright holders as the ultimate silver bullet, TCPA turns the open PC into a lock-down system where software can't be executed and media can't be played without the right-holders' permission.

This is supposed to be an Internet savvy campaign? I'd rather vote for Al Gore, and I can't stand the man! At least he only invented the Internet, he didn't try to lock it up...
