[hassan at wwhmail.com]

Hello Sue,

Quoting "Heidelberg, Chris" <Chris.Heidelberg at ssa.gov>:

> Thanks David! This article is excellent for my literature review. I am
> nearly finished the first three chapters and I am adding targeted
> literature now. This piece really hits home that the industry has
> conducted a highly successful and effective anti-piracy communications
> campaign. When law enforcement is completely befuddled, it is easy for
> one to see how ordinary citizens are experiencing the chilling effects
> of legal crackdowns on fair use.
