1. Comment - RIAA Sues MP3.com

   (Jan 22, 2000 - 12:06 AM)

   The following was directed to all RIAA members by Hilary Rosen.
   
   I regret to inform you that a suit was filed this afternoon against
   MP3.Com for copyright violations.
   
   I regret us having to file this litigation because, as you know, I do
   not view litigation as the best means to a business strategy. I had hoped that we would have a different result and tried to work with Michael Robertson over the past few days to encourage license negotiations.
   
   He ultimately refused to negotiate and therefore, a lawsuit seems to be the only way to resolve this.
   
   I continue to believe that the best way to protect our rights on line is by your continuing to do creative deals, being in the on-line business aggressively and modeling good licensing approaches to Internet companies.
   
   I know you agree.
   
   Attached pleased find my letter to Michael Robertson as well as a useful Q and A for you to use as you confront questions about this action.
   
   All the best,
   
   Hilary
