The Million-Dollar Librarian Gig:
Rx for the Copyright Mess?
Hilary Rosen will leave her lobbying job for the recording studios, but ex-LBJ aide Jack Valenti goes on as Hollywood Lobbyist #1. From the March 8 Washington Post, belatedly--on a possible successor: "Such speculation resurfaced over the past month, this time featuring Rep. W.J. 'Billy' Tauzin (R-La.), head of the House Energy and Commerce Committee. Tauzin said he has not talked to Valenti about the job, but Valenti said yesterday, 'If I had a short list of names, and I don't have a short list, he'd be on it.'"
Idea: What if a librarian's job paid $1 million a year, which is what Valenti receives to fight consumer interests in the copyright area? Imagine the positive effect that this new career path for Congress members could have on copyright legislation. Hey, as long as the American Library Association wants higher pay for librarians, here's one more angle to use.
