Susan, We have the visit from the lawyers - Tom Harrold of Miller & Martin (law firm) representing MPAA. Mr. Harrold's written request to meet with us specifically states that they are "seeking assistance", no subpoenas or mention of law suit. Could you send us the contact info on Richard Taylor and Jim Spertus? Thanks, -Herb At 12:42 PM 7/15/2005, you wrote:
Stan and Herb: The University of Delaware was visited by the MPAA at our invitation in May. Richard Taylor and Jim Spertus were on campus for a day to converse with student life administrators, student government leaders, IT leadership, and senior executives. In the evening a well attended open forum with students was followed by a first run US movie premier.(see http://www.udel.edu/PR/UDaily/2005/mar/mpaa050905.html) We were very impressed with the openness of the conversation and explored with them the means by which we are attempting to curb student violation of the intellectual property, including our educational campaign called Code of the Web (see http://www.udel.edu/codeoftheweb/). I have continued to be in contact with Rich Taylor who is very interested in reaching out to institutions to collaborate and share ideas. I do not know if Rich is one of the individuals involved in contacting you, but I think you would find him very informative and eager to talk with you. Rich is Senior Vice President, External Affairs & Education, Motion Picture Association of America, Washington, DC. Susan
