The individuals of note attending were: Hillary Rosen - RIAA Chief Steve Heckler - Sony Music Strauss Zelnick - BMG Edgar Bronfman - Universal Gerald Levin - AOL Time-Warner Ken Berry - EMI Leonardo Chiariaglione - SDMI Chair (Leaving Soon) Francis Jones - Codex Data Systems Fritz Hollings - Senator Ted Stevens - Senator Michael Eisner - Disney CEO Jack Valenti - President, MPAA Andy Grove - Intel CEO Lou Gerstner - IBM Yoishi Morishita - CEO Matsushita Tsutomo Kawata - CEO Toshiba Jay Berman - IFPI Chair Paul England - Microsoft Advanced Cryptography research group One particularly disturbing fact is that Codex Data System's DIRT software is supposed to be restricted to law enforcement agencies, yet the RIAA, MPAA, and IFPI have all purchased it, and use it routinely to monitor servers which are suspected of infringing content, yet are password protected such as servers which require one to sign up for a password account like hotline servers that have no guest download." --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- end forwarded text -- ----------------- R.
