It is virtually certain to be Senator McCain.
Although it always difficult to determine where a politician really stands
on an issue. Senator John McCain's (R-Arizona) said: "I believe the
concerns of content providers are justified. They invest creativity,
effort, and capital into producing high quality films and programming and
should be able, adequately, to protect their investments. I am
apprehensive, however, of proposals that select technological winners and
losers and mandate government intervention in the marketplace."
