Thanks, Jay.

We also have some material on this at

http://bpdg.blogs.eff.org/archives/000234.html#000234

I would encourage people who are not familiar with the issue to base
their comments on an existing sample letter (there are now several) or
to become familiar by reading several sources.  Some fraction of the
individual comments are making irrelevant or incorrect statements, and
that will undermine the credibility of individual commenters.  (If a
lot of people say something which is a misconception, MPAA can say in
its reply comments that all these consumers have been misled and
actually have nothing to worry about.)

I have a minor correction to the LXNY article.  The filing deadline is
7:00p for paper-filed comments and midnight for electronic comments
via ECFS.  You can confirm this at
