Why Obama Should Change US Trade Policy On Intellectual Property
,----[ Quote ]
| That's why it's good to see Ed Black, president and CEO of the Computer &
| Communications Industry Association, writing up an opinion piece for the San
| Jose Mercury News explaining to President-elect Obama why US trade policy
| concerning IP needs to change. First, he worries about the widespread reports
| that Obama has chosen Xavier Becerra to be the new US Trade Representative.
| In the past, the US Trade Rep has basically acted as a representative of
| Hollywood at times, and Becerra may be no different... as he's literally the
| Congressional rep for California's 31st district... which (you guessed it)
| covers Hollywood. Uh oh. That would be like making a Congressional rep from
| Detroit in charge of automotive policy in the US. They're less likely to have
| the nation's overall best interests in mind.
