;:RE: your questionnaire on law and technology issues
;:Thank you for your efforts to survey parties and candidates about these issues. I must admit, however, that my personal experience has not given me much expertise in regard to these issues. However, I will do my best to clarify my position on each question.
;:1. re Music File-sharing
;:I understand that arguments can be made on both sides of this issue. However, given the need to protect the rights of those who create music and/or who produce it, I feel the law must attempt to prevent the wholesale copying of materials-especially when that copying can be shown to cut into the proceeds from sales.
