TV interview

Ralph Oman

To whom it may concern,

I am writing to you on behalf of NHK Japan Broadcasting Corporation to ask for your help and cooperation. I represent NHK to produce a TV documentary program on Internet and our Society.　 NHK is non-profit, non-commercial, the largest TV network in Japan (The web site is www.nhk.or.jp/index-e.html). The program is scheduled to air on the New Year's Day of 2001.

In the 80-minute NHK Special program, we would like to present what kind of impact Internet would give to our Society and how our Society would be changed, by utilizing various reports/documents, still/motion pictures, TV interviews and actual filming.

We wish to know more about the current status of Internet and the future prospects of cyber-society. We believe that the popularity of Internet is one of the most significant events/phenomena in the human history after the Industrial Revolution. Internet may change all aspects of our Society. It changes not only the economic aspect but also changes the nature of nation, politics, family, community, art, etc.

It would be most appreciated if you would kindly provide us with a copy of the opinion about NAPSTER case submitted to US Court for the Ninth Circuit recently. We wish to obtain a paper copy for taking a picture. My FedEx account number is 12950-2231 (Standard, not priority, overnight please)

It is also grateful if I can talk with you on the phone for just background information purpose. Please let me know when and what number I can call.

We plan to have a nation-wide TV shooting trip in November and the beginning of December in the US and wish to have on-camera interview with the people then.

Your kind consideration is greatly appreciated. Thank you very much, in advance, for your time and kind cooperation in this matter. We look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely yours,

Eddie S. Noguchi
