DIARY

February 24, 2003

Busy day

Our office in Arhem received some 14 calls from various reporter. There were two requests for radio interviews. There was one minor glitch that Pieter had to correct in time. A Dutch reporter was somewhat suspicious about our venture. He had talked to Barbra from our office in Arnhem and he figured he was on to something. He actually stated that he thought our story was just a big hoax. Clever guy. Steven, Pieter and the reporter had a conference call. For Pieter this was a chance to assess the damage. He was now somewhat well trained. His knowledge of the file-sharing business plus a near water tight story made all the difference. The reporter actually wrote a pretty nice piece so The Honest Thief was back on track. No problem. We also received an invitation to talk to Wayne Rosso from Grokster who would be in Amsterdam on Wednesday February 27, 2003. Wayne was anxious to meet Pieter. This would be a perfect Kodak moment. Pieter and Wayne together?!? This would most certainly be like pouring gasoline on a fire. We sure wouldn’t miss out on an opportunity like this!
