   Dear Napster Action Network Members:

   We need your help. On May 17th, the House Judiciary Committee will  be
   holding a hearing to discuss the future of on-line music.
   Unfortunately, Napster has not been asked to testify at this
   hearing. We hope you will call, email, or fax one or more members of
   Congress on this committee and let them how much you value Napster,
   and remind them that Congress should take action to prevent the
   record companies from shutting Napster down.

   As members of the Judiciary Committee these Members of Congress will
   help oversee the development of legislation to bring balance to the
   laws governing the delivery of music over the Internet. Please
   contact as many of them between NOW and Wednesday of this week. If
   one or more of them are from your state, please make a special point
   of calling that member (toll free) and letting them know where you
   are from.

   Please Tell Them:

   *  I am a registered voter and one of the millions of Napster users
      who continue to use the service.
   *  I live in your district/home state (if applicable).
   *  I believe that Napster has revolutionized the music industry and
      the Internet.
   *  Napster represents a competitive threat to the record labels.
      That is why the labels are trying to use the courts to shut
      Napster down.
   *  Napster wants to see songwriters and artists get paid for their
      music, but the labels still refuse to license Napster.
   *  If Napster users are willing to pay a subscription fee, Congress
      ought to find a way to make that happen so that Napster can
      continue to exist.
   *  I hope that you will keep the thousands of Napster users in your
      district and the millions of users from across the country in  mind
      as you consider how best to address this issue.
