Which Presidential administration do you think might be smart enough to do that?

Go to Wired to Vote:  Who Should Be the First U.S. Copyright Czar, then vote for the team with sufficient wisdom to appoint the right person.  Excerpt from Wired post below; full post at link above:

We've started the list with a few of the usual suspects on both sides of the copyright debate. Make your own nomination below, and vote up or down on others as you see fit.
