<nettime> Amusing note from RIAA |
> >from http://www.fuckedcompany.com/extras/riaa_email.cfm > >----- Original Message ----- >From: Hilary Rosen <hrosen@riaa.com> >Sent: 9/25/01 >Subject: Peer to Peer Services > >Dear all: > >It is time to get coordinated and aggressive with the new round of peer to >peer services. The amount of music being downloaded is, as you know, >reaching unprecedented levels. Since college started last week Morpheus >traffic was up to 19 million downloads per day. AND THAT'S JUST MORPHEUS. >With the imminent launch of legitimate subscription services we have to >get our customers back. > >I know you want your new businesses to be successful. So do I. Given the >overwhelming volume of these alternative services, RIAA can't handle all >of the enforcement alone. If they are not controlled more effectively and >consumers redirected to legitimate offerings, there won't be new >businesses. That's obvious. > >You are all competitors, but you have common interests in enforcement. >Help me help you. I'd like to have a meeting at the RIAA in October as >soon as possible. If you agree to participate, I will have my assistant >try and work with schedules to get a date that works. > >I want to keep the meeting small to start (we can expand participation to >other companies later). > >We need to discuss: > >1. Spoofing and/or interdiction methods for existing peer to peers - >(perhaps by adding promotional messages about the launch of various new >systems) > >2. A PR campaign > >3. We will share the latest legal strategies and RIAA's thinking on >options > >Please plan on attending. I am cautious about sending alternates because >we need people who have the ability to make decisions and commit to >spending. > >Best regards, > >Hilary > -- Jim@autonomedia.org http://www.autonomedia.org # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: majordomo@bbs.thing.net and "info nettime-l" in the msg body # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nettime@bbs.thing.net
