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
