20 I did not realize that williamh is on Sony's payroll. For all the
21 talk of conflicts of interest I've seen regarding comrel decisions
22 (where there is no financial conflict of interest as just about every
23 company on the planet recognizes), I sincerely hope that williamh
24 intends to recuse himself from this matter as he has an obvious
25 financial conflict of interest here. Ditto for any other employees of
26 companies that wish to be acknowledged in our copyright notices.
