And RATM have been in the political arena, not before they signed for Sony but certainly after, screw the motives which you can only make blind assumptions about, the point is they have actually been doing sh*t and you give them no credit. They were active in protests to free political prisoners Leonard Peltier and Mumia Abu-Jamal, and individually Morrelo and La Rocha have been active in a crapload of protests, La Rocha was notably involved in supporting the Zapatista Army of National Liberation on their homeland (Chiapas)... Morello co-founded the Axis of Justice, which is a non-profit organization aiding the efforts of grassroots political groups and its political goals have included immigrant rights and the abolition of the death penalty, he's also actively participated in a handful of anti war protests and pro communist and pro urban farming rallies.
For gods sake, do a little homework.
