Yes absolutely.<BR>

If we can get a Russian band manager and assorted trade associations on our side, we'd be able to move this towards a north-vs-south issue, rather than a we-want-music-for-free issue. The fact that they take such an interest in us is remarkable.<BR>
<BR>
I just hope it's not because they think they'd be able to "explain how things REALLY work" to us. I've had the pharma industry try that on me already. At least they paid for lunch...<BR>
