Its my understanding FWIW is that the statement at the end of the email is a "method" of keeping the communication private not simply because thay tell you to keep it quiet but because the "statement" itself is copyrighted and therefore you can't transmit it to anyone else and if you do you are in violation of the writers copyright.
oh yeah I'm like sooo not a lawyer.
Dear Sir.
I would like to register my opposition to a Bill called the ?Author, Consumer and Computer Owner Protection and Security Act of 2003? or ACCOPS. The bill was introduced by Reps. John Conyers Jr. (D-Mich.) and Howard Berman (D-Calif.).
It is my understanding that this ?Bill? (don?t know if it is yet actually a bill or not) would cause anyone of the 60 million Americans who now trade files online to be labeled as Felons subject to $250,000 fines or 5 years in jail. This is patently unacceptable, copyright violation is a civil matter not a criminal matter and the vast majority of computers online that are trading files are setup to by minor children without the knowledge of their parents.
Also the music business and the media outlets that they own continually call filetrading ?piracy? or ?theft? file trading is neither it is violation of copyright which is a civil matter not a criminal matter. In addition this Bill targets those who have the files on their systems not those who actually do the ?copying? the people downloading the files so by just having a file on your computer would be labeled a felon. It is my opinion that the music companies (thru their heavily lobbied representatives) have decided on this approach of going after people that have the files on their systems because that technically they can?t locate the people actually doing the copying, the downloaders.
Kenneth Daigneau - Who played a role on a soap opera which was entitled Stella Dallas, it ran on NBC from 1937-1955, and starred Vivian Smolen, Anne Elstner, and Jane Houston (cast shown in photo to the left). It aired for only 15 minutes a day (at 12:30 pm until 1938, when it was changed to 4:15 pm), and was, according to its opening?..?a continuation on the air of the true life story of mother love and sacrifice, in which Stella Dallas saw her own beloved daughter, Laurel, marry into wealth and society and realizing the difference in their tastes and worlds, went out of Laurel?s life?. ?Lolly Baby? was Stella?s nickname for her daughter.

Real Spears song or just a text file named for a spears song it will still get you sued. The RIAA would lose but that's not the point is it?
