Orrin Hatch's musical career in flight

Orrin Hatch was formerly the Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee (to be replaced by Arlen Specter (R-PA) in the coming term) and is a champion of stronger copyright protection. He and Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) sponsored the Induce Act and "promise to try again next year." In other news, apparently Sen. Orrin Hatch's second career as a musician is really taking off:

"Souls Along the Way," the love song Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch wrote for political rival Sen. Ted Kennedy and his wife a few years ago, has found its way to Hollywood in the box office hit "Ocean's 12."
The song didn't make the CD version of the soundtrack to the hip heist thriller, but Hatch said he's thrilled it's included in the movie. "Ocean's Twelve" is the latest success of Hatch's second career as a songwriter... "Souls Along the Way" can be heard in the background of a scene in which Las Vegas casino boss Terry Benedict (Andy Garcia) crashes a wedding party to demand the gang of crooks repay his stolen loot.
...
A song more recently emerging from Hatch's prolific pen - he collected $33,000 in royalties from his music last year - is "Unspoken." It is the title track of the latest CD by contemporary Christian music star Jaci Velasquez, a Grammy nominated 23-year-old artist who won the 2002 Latin Billboard Magazine Award for Female Pop Album of the Year.
...
"Hatch's moonlighting as a songwriter has made him a bigger star in one of his pet political crusades: to enhance digital copyright protection of artists by cracking down on illegal sharing of music files over the Internet.
After a federal court ruled last year that two major online file-sharing companies, Grokster and Streamcast, could not be held liable for illegal downloading of songs by their customers, Hatch joined with Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., to sponsor the 'Induce Act.' Their bill would have made it illegal for any company to create technology that 'intentionally induces' a computer user to violate copy protections.
Although championed by the music, record and film industry, the measure died after a storm of opposition from the consumer electronics, e-commerce, and technology lobbies.
Hatch and Leahy have vowed to make adjustments to the bill and try again next year."
