I'm not comfortable pointing to this. It appears to be an email from Hilary Rosen to honchos at Real, Microsoft, Yahoo and other companies with an interest in streaming media businesses. It recruits them to a P2P music download deterrence stagegy meeting.Maybe she and those she represents need to consider building relationships with consumers instead of tearing them down by accusing them all of being responsible for piracy and the entertainment industry's pathetic problems.
I don't think it's authentic because I don't believe Hilary Rosen would do this kind of relationship-building by email, much less in impersonal one.
But relationshp-building is what she needs, since she's done her best to kill off much of the business Real and Microsoft once had in supplying streaming servers to Webcasters.

Gregor says "The arrogance and (apparent lack of) thought processes behind this call to action are very frightening. Scary little minds, with little beady eyes, horribly in need of a ride on the Cluetrain..." I say scary, indeed, and Hilary is a witch...
