Espinel Confirmed to 'IP Czar' post

It's now official: Victoria Espinel was confirmed by the Senate yesterday as the first White House Intellectual Property Enforcement Coordinator, better known as the "IP Czar."

The PRO-IP Act, which created the position to which Espinel was named, also requires that the Justice Department make annual reports on federal IP enforcement. Here's the first such report, released in October:

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.
