Mixed Signals

[tom poe]

Hi: At this point, it would appear that Tom Marchok needs to forward this 
second message [the first was a thank you to Intel and Les Vadasz] to Les 
Vadasz:

Les: Your statement to Congress in February? was recognized at the time as a 
truly positive understanding of the problems facing the outrageous assault on 
American citizens' personal rights by a small group of companies [RIAA] 
through the CBDTPA proposed legislation. For that, we all took time to thank 
you.

At this point, with Michael Ripley's acts as Co-Chair of the BPDG, your 
statements have taken on new meaning. It appears that you acted on behalf of 
Intel in order to disguise the true position of your company from being 
perceived by the American public, in order to further the cause of the RIAA, 
and technology companies to establish and "lock in" what seems to be an 
oligopoly that controls world governments, at the expense of democratic 
principles and personal freedoms.  There is the appearance of some perverted 
logic that would have your company satisfied with halting technology, 
innovation, and creativity in the world, in order to "force-feed" your 
crippled products through legislated mandates. Participating in collusion 
with the RIAA, will not continue without the public's knowledge of such 
collusion being reported.  You are engaging in illegal acts which border on 
governmental "takeover", and I for one, resent this as strongly as anything I 
have come up against before.

Now is the time for you, and for Intel to step forward and declare your 
position on this legislation, knowing that the citizens of this country will 
support the position that benefits them, not the position that benefits 
corporate profits at the expense of personal freedoms and technological 
innovation in this country.
Outraged and Concerned,
