We've asked the source to provide authentication for the RIAA meeting, and asked as well The Register reporter who reported about the meeting on October 8 apparently based on a similar message. No answer to either request so far. We've added a note about authenticity to the file on Cryptome and are adding reader responses as well. Hal's will go there. On person wrote that an alleged attendee of the meeting left the organization cited a year ago. Another wrote that an attendee was asked about the meeting who denied there was a meeting. Still, we've encountered disavowals and smoke in connection with other controversial docs, so it's wait a while for now and let folks decide for themselves -- our customary practice. When Hilary Rosen or Senator Hollings responds that they don't beat their mates then we'll have a definitive answer.
