Received from Benjamin Morrison Pettit:
;:Dear Ms. Lawson,
;:Thank-you for your e-mail regarding copyright law. Although I am an engineer and not a lawyer, I have had some experience in the patent process while trying to obtain an international patent for a power producing device. I had to drop out after entering the national phase due to unexpectedly high costs of legal services.
;:The following are my personal positions regarding the questions of copyright law and may be a partial reflection of the party's position also.
;:1. Internet Music File Sharing: This should be illegal as it hinders an artists means to earn a living. This will discourage people from entering into music arts and thus reduce the amount of new music being produced.
