Orrin Hatch to Lead Senate Panel on Copyright, Patents

I'm sure Sen. Hatch will be completely impervious to the whole "art industry", and will, of course, represent the consumers he was elected to represent in his new committee duties.

Of course, if I really believed that, I'd also be sure that the sun would rise in the west tomorrow ...

Senator Orrin Hatch, (in)famous for his idea of destroying the computers of copyright violators is to head a Senate 'panel, which will have jurisdiction over copyright, trademark and patent law, as well as treaties intended to protect American intellectual property overseas
