NBC News projects that Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, will hold onto his seat, serving his sixth term in the U.S. Senate. On the tech front, Hatch has been a major contributor to intellectual property protections. His bill, S. 167, which aims to criminalize the use of camcorders in movie theaters, as well as unauthorized Internet distribution of pre-released commercial works, was signed into law in April 2005. Hatch also has introduced legislation aimed at improving national sex-offender registries and combating Internet child pornography.
