Hellow,
first of all I'd like to say that I like this initiative and this forum. Although I 'presume' I write understandable English, I still would like to get rid of stupid mistakes. Researching about music piracy for my journalism studies, I'd like to write organisations related to copyright matters to ask them about their point of view in a formal way. I looked up some things and formulations and I came up with this letter. Can you tell me if there are still large mistakes in it? Thanks in advance,
Joris

Dear Sir / Madam
My name is
Joris Heymans. I'm a journalism student at the Plantijnhogeschool in Antwerp (Belgium).
Currently I am researching about illegal filesharing and music piracy. I hope
you can help me in obtaining a better view on the vision of organisations
related to copyright affairs.
I would like
to get to know more about your organisation's view on the way the recording
industry should deal with the current situation. Should the industry invest in preventing illegal filesharing and
downloading, trying to wipe out music piracy, or should companies concentrate on
searching for other activities (such as offering legal downloads, ringtones
etc.) that may make up the loss of incomes throuh
piracy?
Can you
provide me with an answer on this question or tell me where I can find more
information about the organisation's point of view on this
matter?
I would like
to thank you in advance for your time and I look forward to hearing from
you.
Yours
faithfully,
Joris Heymans
