Listen to the event

Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah)

Sen. Orrin Hatch, chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has represented Utah in the U.S. senate since 1976. The five-term Republican senator spoke to the Press Club about intellectual property.

"I vividly remember my friend Jack Valenti warning some years ago that improvements in computing power would mean that pirated CDs downloaded from the Internet would soon replace pirated videotapes," Hatch said in his speech. "He was right. I am one of those old school law-and-order types who is skeptical of the term 'victimless crime.' "
