Now, Jamie Love of the Consumer Project on Technology has investigated further (a la Opensecrets.org), discovering that the ABA group pushing for this includes a number of folks who represent the motion picture, music and publishing industries. The upshot is that these are the people who make a living representing the companies that make a living through the CTEA. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

• Judy Saffer (assistant general counsel, BMI)
• Donna Gies (West Publishing)
• Mary L. Kevlin (Cowan, Liebowitz & Latman, a firm that represents Columbia Pictures, Universal Studios, Random House, BMG Entertainment, RCA Records, Sony Music and others)
• Hayden Gregory (legislative consultant, former chief counsel of the House Judiciary subcommittee on intellectual property)
• Mike Jakes (Finnegan, Henderson, Farabow, Garrett & Dunner, a firm that represents Walt Disney)
• Cynthia Kernick (Reed Smith, represented eight movie studios in the ICraveTV suit)
• Gale R. (Pete) Peterson (head of the intellectual property law department of the San Antonio firm of Cox & Smith)
