""The Senate late Monday confirmed former Recording Industry Association of
America lawyer Donald Verrilli Jr.to serve as the nation's solicitor
general. Verrilli, one of at least five former RIAA attorneys appointed to
the administration, is best known for leading the recording industry's legal
charge against music- and movie-sharing site Grokster. That 2003 case
ultimately led to Grokster's demise, when the U.S. Supreme Court sided with
a lower court's pro-RIAA verdict."

smh. These are people who have already shown their abject bias in favor of
Corporations, and against the fair interests of the people. Why are they
getting elected to office? I recall reading of a few other similar lawyers
and RIAA defenders who have gotten elected to similar high office. Who wants
to bet that the tide will suddenly turn dramatically against the rights of
the consumer in any case where the profits of these Corporations are at
risk?
