For all who do not believe the validity of the interview, I'm sorry. It occurred at Woodberry Forest School in VA last night after the Vivendi Representative gave his speech. In order to get the interview from him, I made the promise that I would not disclose his name on the web. I have not yet done so. The reason for his appearing at our school was so that he could discuss online piracy of -any- form of entertainment--DVD, Music, Games, et al. However, please realize this: The representative is not a lawyer on the Vivendi v. BNetD case. He is legal counsel for the entire Vivendi Universal company, and the most involved that he has been in that case is when he assigned the lawyers to it. I have emailed him again, asking for more answers to questions that I had, but he said from the very beginning that he DOES NOT know all of the details regarding the case. As most of you should know, Vivendi is currently very busy with another legal issue revolving around the firing of the president of one of their French television stations. The BNetD case is not as big of an issue, and that is why some of these answers might seem a bit out of the ordinary. If you don't believe me now, I'm sorry. There will be follow ups to this interview, and I hope that many of you will find them helpful in the understanding of the Vivendi side of things.
