Dear sir/madam,
I am a sophmore from Emerson College and I am writing an article
about mp3 and how it is affecting the music industry.
I have a few questions, and I hope that you will be able to answer
it as well as you can. Thank you very, very much for your time. It is
greatly appreciated.
1. Does the college/university have any particular policy regarding the
downloading of mp3 files, most of which are pirated?
2. Has any action been taken before, and if not, are there any plans to?
3. How rampant do you think the practice of uploading and downloading
mp3 files is in your college/university?
4. Has the Recording Industry Association of America ever approached the
college/university about the downloading of pirated mp3 files by
students?
Thank you once again for your time.
Regards,
Brian Yap.
