I'm pleased to announce "EEPI" ( http://www.eepi.org ),
a new initiative aimed at fostering cooperation in the 
areas of electronic entertainment and its many related 
issues, problems, and impacts.

I've teamed with 30+ year recording industry veteran 
Thane Tierney in this effort to find cooperative solutions 
to technical, legal, policy, and other issues relating to 
the vast and growing range of electronic technologies that 
are crucial to the entertainment industry, but that also 
impact other industries, interest groups, individuals, and 
society in major ways.

There are many interested parties, including record labels, film
studios, the RIAA, the MPAA, artists, consumers, intellectual
freedom advocates, broadcasters, manufacturers, legislators,
regulators, and a multitude of others.

The issues cover an enormous gamut from DVDs, CDs, and piracy 
issues to multimedia cell phones, from digital video recorders 
to Internet file sharing/P2P, from digital TV and the 
"broadcast flag" to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA)
and "fair use" controversies.

Working together, rather than fighting each other, perhaps
we can all find some broadly acceptable paths that will be of
benefit to everyone.

For more information, please see the EEPI Web site at:

A moderated public discussion list and an EEPI announcement list 
are now available at the site.

Public participation is cordially invited.  Thank you very much.
