"I'm well aware that you are supporting SOPA, because...well, duh, it is well-intentioned, it looks good on paper, but however reality steps in...
What you are supporting is horrible and supports a tangent of Communism (by controlling what they say, hear and see) AND it defeats the principle of...hmm...I remember reading it on the Constitution...OH YES! Freedom of speech! And also you sir are not supporting a bill that is indirectly similar to Communism, but a bill that will make MILLIONS of people lose their jobs that RELY on the inter-nationality of the Internet. You can't control the internet; it was intended to be a floodgate for the world to share opinions, create new ideas, a place where they have all of the freedoms that we and you as Americans take for granted AND then some. But by supporting this bill, you are also making into law an unconstitutional law, in which it is unconstitutional on the 1st (Congress shall not and WILL not interfere with the freedom of religion, speech or press, assembly and petition), 4th (Unreasonable searches are forbidden, this bill will allow attorney generals and organizations/companies like YOU to close supposedly infringing websites that has even one page of said infringement [like say an acoustic version of a COPYRIGHTED song] to close that site without due process, something that us Americans take for granted too.) and 5th Amendment (the right to life [you will be limiting that by restricting people to the Internet and its many wonders yet to be discovered], the right to liberty [you will be limiting that by shutting down these completely innocent websites just because they are possibly making money and YOU aren't.] and the right to property you will be destroying people's property even if what they did was done in this b.s. standard of "completely original."] ) By now you may be be thinking, "hey, this kid doesn't know about our side of the story!" I do, I see why you guys and the other supporters are supporting the bill in the first place, it's well-intentioned, looks good on paper like I said earlier, but however this bill will completely destroy the internet. Are you angry by now? Of course, mostly because people use copyrighted material in their stuff on a daily basis. However, I see now that the copyright system is flawed in some way or another, maybe because the copyright system never expected the internet to come along. What I would do if I were you guys, I would start innovating. Start streaming to people at home some time after a certain amount of time from opening day, like maybe like 2 weeks, I dunno, you probably have more I ideas than I do. Just please, withdraw your support of SOPA and ask your supporters to start innovating, because things will probably be for the better if you could. Of course it is hard to think up new ideas, but I know you could do it!" My letter to the Motion Picture Association of America, one of SOPA's most enthusiastic supporters. :\ 01-06-2012, 01:39 AM

Hopefully this isn't too offensive to you. That letter looks like a 16 year-old wrote it (because a 16-year-old did write it) and will likely not get much attention. Certain word usage and the overall feeling I get from reading it makes it seem like the person who wrote it is young and naive and it will probably not be taken seriously. Some constructive criticism for future letters. 1) Don't use "duh" in a letter that is supposed to sound intelligent or official. 2) Even if you are, don't refer to your self as a kid. There is no reason to specifically mention your age or age group and it will most likely only make people not take you seriously. Leave that out next time. 3) There is no need for you to use full-word capitalization in a letter like this, you're not talking to friends via text message or posting on an internet forum.

Just a question : Has TV talked about it in USA? I mean in the news. An official announce to everybody. Or has it been reserved to specialized medias? Here in France not a single word about this US project (on TV at least)

I'd say write your congress critter instead but unless it comes with a "donation" its just as unlikely to get read.
