There's a chap called Paul Sanders who is often on the ORG-Discuss list who could be interesting too... he's a Music Industry-type who also has a wealth of technical knowledge on these issues, and runs State51 - a digital distribution comapny. http://www.state51.co.uk/ I've seen him speak at a a couple of events and he's always thought provoking.
In terms of EMI people, I'd try and get hold of Ruth Katz.. she's head of 'content protection' or some such thing, and is always engaging - she's also one of the longest serving EMI employees and does a talk for new staff introducing them to the company, so has a wealth of knowledge about their particular business. Otherwise, Michael, Becky or Suw from ORG would be well worth having on board. Dave Rowntree's also always good - being an anti-DRM musician tends to add weight to the anti-DRM POV too.
