Susan Davies, Chief Counsel to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-VT), is moving down Pennsylvania Avenue to the White House as Associate Counsel to the President, bringing yet another IP expert -- on the good side! -- to the Obama Administration. Prior to taking the top staff job on Judiciary, Davies was Minority Counsel to the IP Subcommittee, whose ranking member was Sen. Leahy. While C&C isn't familiar with Ms. Davies' personal views on the subject, one suspects they aren't too far from those of her former boss, who is one of copyright owners' staunchest Hill allies and even filed an amicus brief helpful to the plaintiffs in the Grokster case.
Another poke in the eye to the copyleft?

If you want to rant about how evil the RIAA and MPAA are, and how entertainment companies' employees and attorneys are bad people, there are plenty of other places for you to go.
