	New RIAA Chief Seeks a Hit Single (TechNews.com)
		For Bainwol -- an influential lobbyist and former Republican congressional aide -- this is unusual.
		Bainwol, 44, was largely unknown outside the Beltway until last month when he accepted the top job at the Recording Industry Association of America.
		In interviews with numerous sources for this profile, a collective picture emerges of Bainwol as someone who has the rare combination of steely-eyed resolve, uncanny intelligence, a friendly attitude, the ability to tell it like it is and the tact required to achieve compromise when necessary.

		Mitch Bainwol entered the eye of the music piracy storm in September when he officially took the reins of the RIAA as chairman and CEO.
		Bainwol: This fast-moving train that I've jumped on took off more than a year ago with an aggressive and broad education campaign to get the message out that downloading copyrighted works without permission is not acceptable and not legal.
		Bainwol: It's a reflection on society and a reflection on the news media that it requires this kind of action to draw attention.

		Bainwol is likely to face what Rosen received: criticism from the record labels that she was not doing enough to stem Internet song piracy as well as attacks from consumer groups and customers who said the RIAA's campaign against piracy has been too heavy-handed.
		Bainwol, a native Floridian, joined the NRSC in 2000 from a run as a senior aide to Sen. Connie Mack (R-Fla.) after Mack retired from Congress.
		Bainwol has a knack for understanding "the bigger picture, and he has a good handle on what tactics best fit the strategy you want to pursue," Kutler said.

		Bainwol is, of course, titular boss of the RIAA - 'titular' because for the moment, Cary-Sue Sherman, RIAA president, seems to be the record labels' public face.
		Be that as it may, "Congressional staffers and the K Street lobbying community say that Bainwol is the natural choice to represent the world's biggest record labels in their race to stop Internet music piracy," says MacMillan's New RIAA Chief Seeks a Hit Single.
		RIAA chief lobbyist Mitch Glazier and Bainwol made introductory visits on the Hill, but Bainwol is reluctant to talk too much about what the RIAA's solution will be to reconciling the music business and the Internet, says MacMillan.

		But equally to the point from the music industry perspective: he was also executive director to the National Republican Senatorial Committee and thus offers the labels entrance into things Republican, an opening they certainly need and can most definitely exploit.
		Hilary Rosen, Bainwol's predecessor and Mother of the DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act), is now a commentator for CNBC and as such, is effectively out of sight.

		At a CEA event I attended a couple weeks ago, I listened to a panel where Mitch Bainwol, the head of the RIAA, basically put out the argument that it was obvious that illegal downloads were hurting music sales.
		Since Mitch thought it was important to use RIAA Logic to show how obvious the link was, I decided to test Mitch’s logic by applying it to other digital content.
