Dear Philips Representatives,
Thank you for standing up for my rights as a consumer.
I am concerned that some record labels are releasing music disks that do not play on all CD players and that do not allow me to exercise my fair use rights. I am even more concerned that they are confusing and misleading consumers by labelling these disks as "CDs." Please stand firm in your resolve to ensure that we, your customers, retain the consistently high quality CD experience that Philips pioneered.
We urge you to:
make sure that dysfunctional disks are not labelled as "CDs" in our record stores offline and online and that any labelling clearly identifies their use limitations (i.e. only plays on Windows computers; will not play in most car stereos, etc.);
require that dysfunctional disks be plainly segregated from real CDs, so that consumers are not confused or misled;
continue to make and sell consumer electronics equipment that plays and records all CDs and that allows consumers to exercise our rights under copyright law, both in the US and around the world.
I would be most grateful if you would convey my thoughts on this important issue to these and any other appropriate Philips employees:
Gerard Kleisterlee, President and CEO
Caroline Kamerbeek, Intellectual Property Media Contact
Koenraad van Hasselt, Consumer Electronics Media
Thank you again for standing with your customers on this vital issue. I understand that you may receive pressure from the entertainment industry to endorse these dysfunctional locked-down products, and I will remember Philips' position when I next shop for consumer electronics equipment.
Sincerely,
