The first copyright czar for the United States.

President Barack Obama has nominated Victoria A. Espinel as the first copyright czar for the United States (formal title: “Intellectual Property Enforcement Coordinator”). According to Threat Level:

"The czar’s position is charged with overseeing government anti-piracy crackdowns and, among other things, training other countries about IP enforcement. The Pro-IP Act also called for the creation of an FBI piracy unit and allows for the forfeiture of equipment used in large pirating operations. The legislation was strongly backed by Hollywood, the recording industry, unions, manufacturers and the Chamber of Commerce".
