No problem.  

Just to point out to the list that Chuck's campaign has been getting
some more press attention in the States -- we have been contacted by
both the Wall Street Journal and an MTVi reporter for information.
Probably there are other contacts as well that Julian has handled that
I'm not aware of (he mentioned USA Today at one point).  

The Wall Street Journal reporter wanted to talk to a consumer who had
had a bad experience with a so-called "copy-protected" CD, and a guy
who'd contacted me agreed to talk to her, which was good.
Unfortunately the WSJ.com site is subscriber-only, so I can't post a
link.

I wrote a load of stuff for the MTVi reporter, but the article he
created from it was very industry-oriented, including just the bad
news and none of the "we must do something about it, take CDs back,
not let them get away with it, etc..." stuff that I'd written.  Here
it is on SonicNet (I couldn't find it on MTV.com or VH1.com).  This is
way too heavy reading, though -- makes you want to give up:

I'll probably put the original reply up on the site sometime.
